A Japanese classicist from the mid to late Edo period. His childhood name was Ichiroku and he was also called Tatsumaro. He used the pen names Keibi and Ryudo for Chinese poetry. Commonly known as Yabei and Tokuemon. His surname was Fujiwara. He was the eldest son of Nayama Yoshimasa, a village headman from Otani village, Toyota county, Totomi province (Shizuoka prefecture). In 1760, he met Kamo no Mabuchi, who had come to Hamamatsu, and in 1769, he became his disciple. From then on, he devoted himself to poetry and the investigation of ancient history such as the Nihon Shoki. In 1765, he entered the bamboo pavilion of Watanabe Moan, who was the base of the Kobunji school of classical Japanese literature in Totomi province and Mabuchi's teacher of Chinese classics, and learned ancient Japanese and Chinese classics. He wrote "Izumo Fudoki Kai" (3 volumes, manuscript, completed in 1787), interpretations of Fudoki, and "Nihonki Ruijukai" (15 volumes, manuscript, completed in 1812), which is said to be his life's work. He is said to have written 35 books, but his scholarship was generally based on field research and criticism of documents, and he had wide-ranging connections with Edo school classical Japanese scholars, Suzuya disciples, Confucian scholars, and poets. He also left behind a considerable amount of Chinese poetry and prose worth seeing. <References> Koyama Tadashi, "A Study of Uchiyama Shinryu"
