Shun'e

Japanese: 俊恵 - しゅんえ

[Raw] Permanent 1 (1113)
[Dead]?
A poet of the late Heian period. Also read as "Sun'e." Commonly known as Daifu-ko. The son of Minamoto no Toshiyori, he learned waka poetry from his father, but his father died when he was 17, and it seems he entered Todaiji Temple around this time. After 1160, he attended many poetry contests. His Shirakawa monastery was called Karin-en, and he gathered a wide range of congregations, including courtiers, priests, monks, and ladies-in-waiting, held monthly and special poetry gatherings, and compiled private anthologies such as "Kaen-sho." The congregation of Karin-en was a group of underground poets who held great influence in the poetry world during the transition from the Rokujo family to the Mikohidari family, and Toshie was a central figure in the group. As shown by his words, "Poems should be written as if water was being poured on a five-foot tall iris" (Gotoba-in Gokuden), Toshie idealized simple beauty with plenty of emotion, and his actual style of poetry also supported this. His works are included in the Shika Wakashu and subsequent collections. Due to the popularity of the Shin Kokinshu, which arose around the time of his death, his works were considered to be of the old school, but in one sense they influenced the Shin Kokinshu, and he was welcomed into the poetry world after the Shin Kokinshu and had an impact on it. His personal collection Hayashiba Wakashu (self-selected, 78) is a complete collection, although it does not include his final works.

[生]永久1(1113)
[没]?
平安時代後期の歌人。「すんえ」とも読む。通称，大夫公。源俊頼の子で，父に和歌を学んだが，17歳で死別し，この頃，東大寺に入ったらしい。永暦1 (1160) 年以後多くの歌合に出席。その白河の僧坊を歌林苑と称し，廷臣，神官，僧侶，女房など広範囲にわたる会衆を集め，月次，臨時の歌会を開催，『歌苑抄』などの私撰集を編むなどの活動をした。歌林苑の会衆は，六条家から御子左家への交代期にあった歌壇に一大勢力をなした地下 (じげ) の歌人集団で，俊恵はその中心人物であった。「五尺のあやめに水をかけたるやうに歌はよむべし」 (『後鳥羽院御口伝』) というその言葉に示されるように，俊恵は余情に富んだ平明の美を理想とし，実際の歌風もそれを裏づけるものであった。『詞花和歌集』以下に入集。没年の頃に興った新古今風の盛行により，旧派とみられたが，一面では新古今風に影響を与え，また『新古今集』以後の歌壇に迎えられ影響を及ぼした。家集『林葉和歌集』 (自撰，78) は最晩年の作は欠くが，全集的なものである。
