Kensho - Kensho

Date of birth and death unknown. A poet and scholar of waka poetry from the end of the Heian period to the beginning of the Kamakura period. He was the adopted son of Shosanmi Sakyo no Daifu Fujiwara Akisuke, and his real parents are unknown. His birth year is estimated to have been around 1130 (Taiji 5), and his last achievement was submitting a poem to the Nagao Shrine Waka Contest in 1209 (Shogen 3). He studied at Mount Hiei at a young age, and later moved to Ninnaji Temple, where he became Hokkyo. He selected the Konsenshu as early as 1165 (Eiman 1), but after he became close to Shukaku Hoshinno at Ninnaji Temple, he presented the prince with many commentaries and waka studies books. His detailed research and vast knowledge are unparalleled. After the death of his brother Kiyosuke in 1877 (Jisho 1), he supported the declining Rokujo Fujiwara clan, and in 1893 (Kenkyu 4), he was in fierce conflict with the Mikohidari clan in the "Six Hundred Poetry Contest," and wrote "Six Hundred Chinjo." His waka poems are often stiff and use a lot of archaic language, as he respects the "Manyoshu." His works include "Manyoshu Jidai Nanji," "Kaki no Hitomaro Kanmon," annotated works from the "Kokinshu" to the "Shikashu" (the "Gosen" and "Kinyo" are lost), "Kokin Hishushu," "Samboku Shuchu," "Shuchushu," etc. He is included in the "Senzaishu" and subsequent collections.

生没年不詳。平安末期から鎌倉初期にかけての歌人、歌学者。正三位(しょうさんみ)左京大夫藤原顕輔(あきすけ)の猶子(ゆうし)、実父母は不詳。生年は1130年（大治5）ころと推定され、最終事蹟(じせき)は1209年（承元3）「長尾社歌合(うたあわせ)」への出詠である。幼くして叡山(えいざん)に修学、のち仁和寺(にんなじ)に移り、法橋(ほっきょう)に至る。早く1165年（永万1）ころ『今撰(こんせん)集』を撰(えら)んだが、仁和寺の守覚法親王(しゅかくほっしんのう)に近づいてからは、親王のため多くの注釈書、歌学書を奉った。その考証の詳密さ、博覧強記は類をみない。77年（治承1）兄清輔(きよすけ)の没後は衰退する六条藤家を支え、93年（建久4）の『六百番歌合』では御子左(みこひだり)家と激しく対立し、『六百番陳状(ちんじょう)』を著した。和歌は『万葉集』尊重の立場から古語を多用した生硬なものが多い。著書に『万葉集時代難事(じだいなんじ)』『柿本人麻呂勘文(かきのもとのひとまろかんもん)』、『古今集』より『詞花(しか)集』までの抄注（『後撰』『金葉』は散逸）、『古今秘注抄』『散木(さんぼく)集注』『袖中(しゅうちゅう)抄』等。『千載集』以下に入集(にっしゅう)。
