Fujiwara no Tamefusa - Fujiwara no Tamefusa

He was a nobleman in the late Heian period. His father was Tajima no Kami Takakata, and his mother was the daughter of Uemon Gonnosuke Yukichika. He served as Goi no Kurodo, Sa Shoben, Shurigon no Daibu, and other positions, and in 1107 (Kasho 2) he became Kurodo no To and Kura no Kami of Emperor Toba. In 1111 (Ten'ei 2), he was promoted to Sanmi (Junior Third Rank). During this time, he also served as the head of the Shirakawa Incho office and the head of the Morozane and Moromichi clans of the Sekkanke clan, and both the Imperial family and the Sekkanke clan placed great trust in his outstanding practical abilities. He built the foundation for the prosperity of the Kanshuji lineage of the Fujiwara clan, and Tamefusa's line came to monopolise the position of head of the line. His descendants were divided into the Yoshida, Kanroji, Seikanji, and Bojo families. His diary, "Tamefusa Kyoki," has survived from 1071 (Enkyu 3), when he became a sixth-rank Kurodo, until 1114 (Eikyu 2), with intermittent extant writings. He wrote ceremonial books such as "Senshu Hisho," "Kanshu Sho," and "Shozoku Sho."
