Reizei Tamesuke - Reizei Tamesuke

A poet of the late Kamakura period. Son of Fujiwara Tameie in his later years. His mother was Abutsu. He is the ancestor of the Reizei family, which still exists today. His dispute with his half-brother Tameuji over the inheritance of the Hosokawa estate in Harima is well known from the Izayoi Diary and other sources. In terms of the poetry world, he was estranged from the Nijo family of Tameuji and Tameyo, and was close to the Kyogoku school centered around Fushimi-in and Tamekane. Around the time of Tamekane's exile to Sado (1298-1303), he frequently participated in poetry contests of the Kyogoku school, but as a poet, he held his own position, and in 1310 (Enkei 3), when Tameyo and Tamekane fought over who would be the compiler of the Gyokuyoshu (the Gyokuyoshu), he also wanted to be the compiler. However, this did not come to fruition, and he ended up being revered as a leader of the Kamakura poetry world, based in the Kanto region, the territory his mother had developed. He died on July 17, 3rd year of the Karyaku era. It is believed that he selected "Shui Futeishu" and "Ryūfushō", which are collections of poems from the Kamakura poetry world, and that he had his disciple Fujiwara Nagakiyo select "Fuboku Wakashō". The second patriarch of the Jishu sect, Taa Shinkyō, was also his disciple in poetry, and he also had a connection with Musō Soseki in poetry. His family anthology "Tōkoku Wakashō" was selected by a later author. His style of poetry was moderate, and his theory on poetry was liberal. He is said to have also created a formula for linked verse. His grave is at Jōkōmyō-ji Temple in Fujigayatsu, Kamakura.

On a flower-filled, moon-filled night, my short dream is still parting. [Fukuda Shuichi]

鎌倉後期の歌人。藤原為家の晩年の子。母は阿仏(あぶつ)。今日も残る冷泉家の祖。異母兄為氏と播磨(はりま)の細川庄(しょう)の相続を争ったことは『十六夜(いざよい)日記』その他で名高い。歌壇的にも為氏・為世(ためよ)の二条家とは疎遠で、伏見(ふしみ)院と為兼(ためかね)を中心とする京極(きょうごく)派に近づき、為兼佐渡配流（1298～1303）の前後、同派の歌合(うたあわせ)にたびたび参加しているが、歌道家の者としていちおう独自の立場をもち、『玉葉集』の撰者(せんじゃ)を望んで1310年（延慶3）に為世と為兼が争った（延慶(えんけい)訴陳）ときには、彼も撰者を望んだ。しかしそれはかなわず、母の開拓した地盤の関東を本拠として鎌倉歌壇の指導者と仰がれて終わった。嘉暦(かりゃく)3年7月17日没。鎌倉歌壇の詠を集めた『拾遺風体(しゅういふうてい)集』や『柳風抄』は彼の撰らしく、『夫木(ふぼく)和歌抄』は門人藤原長清に撰(えら)ばせたとみられる。時宗(じしゅう)二祖他阿真教(たあしんきょう)も歌の門弟で夢窓疎石(むそうそせき)とも歌の交わりがあった。家集『藤谷(とうこく)和歌集』は後人の撰。歌風は穏健、歌論は自由主義的。連歌の式目もつくったらしい。墓は鎌倉藤谷(ふじがやつ)の浄光明寺にある。
