Fujiwara no Koretada (藤原 伊尹; 924 – December 9, 972), also known as Fujiwara no Koremasa or Kentokuko, Ichijō sesshō and Mikawa-kō, was a Japanese statesman, courtier, politician and waka-poet during the Heian period.[1]

His poems were published in "The Collected Poems of the First Ward Regent", , and in Hyakunin Isshu (poem No. 45).

Career[]

Emperor Murakami named Koretada conservator of Japanese poetry in 951.[2]

Koretada served as a minister during the reign of Emperor En'yū.

  • 970 (Tenroku 1, 1st month): Koretada is named udaijin.[3]
  • 970 (Tenroku 1, 5th month): After the death of Fujiwara no Saneyori, Koretada is named sesshō (regent).[4]
  • 971 (Tenroku 2, 11th month): Koretada assumes the office of daijō daijin.[3]
  • 972 (Tenroku 3, 5th day of the 1st month): The enthronement of Emperor En'yu is supervised by Koretada.[5]
  • 972 (Tenroku 3, 11th month): Koretada died at age 49; and he was posthumously raised to first class rank. He was granted the posthumous title of Mikawa-kō. [5]

The immediate consequence of Koretada's death was a period of intense rivalry between his brothers Kanemichi and Kaneie.[6]

Genealogy[]

This member of the Fujiwara clan was the son of Morosuke.[1] He was the oldest son; and became head of the Hokke branch of the clan after his uncle Saneyori died in 970.

Koretada had four brothers: Kaneie,[7] Kanemichi,[8] Kinsue,[9] and Tamemitsu.[6]
