Sadanobu Shigeno - Sadanobu Shigeno

Japanese: 滋野貞主 - しげののさだぬし

Year of death: 8.2.8 (852.3.2)
Year of birth: Enryaku 4 (785)
A nobleman and scholar in the early Heian period. Son of Owari no Kamiie. His great-grandfather, Narahara Azumajin, was known as a "famous Confucian scholar" during the Tenpyo period, and was bestowed the surname Kin (Isoshi) no Omi for the merit of presenting gold excavated during his time as the governor of Suruga. In Enryaku 17 (798), during the time of his father, his surname was changed to Shigeno. While he held successive posts such as Minister of Finance, his talent as a poet was recognized from an early age, and he participated in the compilation of the imperially commissioned Chinese poetry anthology "Bunkashūreishū," and also selected "Keikokushū." In Tencho 8 (831), he was ordered by imperial command to compile "Hifuryaku," a 1,000-volume collection of documents from ancient times to the present, and he left a legacy of accomplishments in cultural projects in the 9th century. His private residence (the "house south of the castle") was located south of Saiji Temple (Minami Ward, Kyoto City), but to prevent the killing of his servants and slaves, he converted it into a temple in April 844, renamed it Jionji Temple, and made it a branch temple of Saiji Temple. His daughters, Nawako and Okuko, were both favored by Emperor Ninmyo, and gave birth to two sons and daughters.
