 Fujiwara no Kamatari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fujiwara no Kamatari (藤原鎌足, 614–669 A.D.) was the founder of the Fujiwara clan in Japan.
Kamatari was the head of the Jingi no Haku, or Shinto ritualists; as such, he was one of the chief opponents of the increasing power and prevalence of Buddhism in the court, and in the nation.
As a result, in 645, Prince Naka no Ōe and Kamatari made a coup d'état in the court.

Ōe no Chisato is the author of one of the most well-known waka about the moon, which was originally based on two lines of a poem by Bai Juyi (which was inspired by the loneliness of a woman looking at the moon after her husband’s death).
