Yamanoue no Okura

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yamanoue no Okura (山上 憶良; Yamanoue no Okura; 660 - 733) was a Japanese poet, the best known for his poems of child and commoners. He was also a contributor to the Man’yôshû and his writing had a strong Chinese influence. Unlike other Japanese poetry of the time, his work emphasizes a morality based on the teachings of Confucius. He was perhaps born in 660 because his fifth volume, published in 733, has a sentence saying "in this year, I am 74".
