Jakuren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jakuren (also known as Fujiwara no Sandanga before becoming a monk) (d. 1202) was a Japanese Buddhist priest and poet. He was adopted by Fujiwara no Shunzei upon the death of Shunzei's younger brother.[1] He was well regarded in his time and frequently associated with Fujiwara no Teika. He was one of the compilers of the famous Shinkokinshu, and thirty-five of his poems were selected for the work.[2] Before he died, he adopted Fujiwara no Ietaka, pupil to Shunzei.[3] His untimely death cut short his poetry career.
