In 668 Emperor Tenji (reigned 668-671), bestowed the kabane Fujiwara no Ason on Kamatari.
The surname passed to the descendants of Fujiwara no Fuhito (520-605), the second son and heir of Kamatari, who was prominent at the court of several emperors and empresses during the early Nara period.
Fujiwara no Yorinaga sided with the retired emperor in a violent battle in 1158 against the heir apparent, who was supported by the Taira and Minamoto.

 2001 Waka - Teika
Fujiwara no Sada'ie (better known to history as Teika) (1162-1241) is one of the four greatest Japanese poets.
Teika's relationship with Gotoba was to sour, leading to a decline in his fortunes, but his poetic reputation remained high, and he was rehabilitated after Gotoba was exiled by the Shogunate in 1221.
Teika also, like his father, championed the Genji Monogatari, and his work produced the texts upon which are based modern editions of the Genji, the Ise Monogatari and, indeed, the Kokinshû itself.

The waka in the Man'yōshū had no fixed form, but already poets in the late 7th century, in the time of the empress Saimei began to create Choka and Tanka in the form we know today.
Nukata no Okimi, Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, Yamabe no Akahito, Yamanoue no Okura, Otomo no Tabito and his son Yakamochi were the greatest poets in this anthology.
He also praised Minamoto no Sanetomo, the third Shogun of Kamakura Shogunate, who was a disciple of Fujiwara Teika and made waka in a style much like that in the Man'yōshū.

 Fujiwara no Teika Criticism and Essays
A member of the influential Fujiwara clan, Teika belonged to the Mikohidari branch of this aristocratic family whose members were part of a long literary tradition, enjoyed multitudinous links to the Japanese imperial court, and were notorious for their affinity for political intrigue.
Teika's connection with the group would culminate in 1193 with his contributions to the Roppayakuban uta-awase, a sizable and decisive contest that pitted Teika's innovative poetics against the more established and traditional works of his conservative contemporaries, the Rokujō poets, and brought Teika unprecedented attention as a writer.
Teika's writings can be divided into three general categories: original works of poetry and poetic sequences, anthologies and critical pieces, and literary prose, including a diary and a lengthy romantic tale.

 Fujiwara no Teika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Teika's grandfather was the venerable poet Fujiwara no Toshitada.
Teika was asked to participate in a poem competition on the 13th of the second month; Teika declined, citing as a reason the anniversary of his mother's death 26 years previous, in 1194.
Teika researched old documents and recovered the earlier system of deciding between interpretations of kana, and developed a systematic orthography which was used until the modern Meiji period.

 Fujiwara no Teika
Teika was born to a minor and distant branch of the aristocratic and courtly clan, the Fujiwara, in 1162, sometime after the Fujiwara regents had lost their political pre-eminence in the Imperial court during the Hōgen Rebellion.
Teika's goals as the senior male of his branch were to inherit and cement his father's position in poetry, and to advance his own reputation (thereby also improving the political fortunes of his own clan in the court).
Teika probably referred to himself as Sadaie, and his father probably called himself Toshinari, but the Sino-Japanese versions of their names were used by their contemporaries, and this practice is still observed." pg 681-692, note 2 of Seeds in the Heart: Japanese Literature from Earliest Times to the Late Sixteenth Century, Donald Keene.

 Tale of Genji
One was Minamoto no Mitsuyuki (died 1244), whose work was completed in 1255 by his son Chikayuki (died 1277).
Teika wrote in his diary that his copy had disappeared in the 1190s and that he had therefore begun collecting and collating others.
From the standpoint of the nonspecialist, especially the reader of a translation, there is no striking discrepancy between the Kawachi-bon and Aboyoshi-bon lines, but study of the beppon may yet yield insight into an earlier state of the text.

I was recently told that one uses "no" with Fujiwara but not with Nijo or Kyogoku because "no" is used with uji (clans) and dropped when the name specifies a certain lineage.
Fujiwara no Teika does sound a bit much, but I somehow prefer Fujiwara no Sadaie to dropping the no in that case.

 Features: Akiko Tsukamoto
Fujiwara-no Teika states that Honkadori must not be 'stealing', but the difference between a genuine Honkadori and a false one lies, in his view, in the effect on the reader (or listener, if the poem is recited).
Teika’s aesthetics always assumes an objective reader possessing full knowledge and the ability to grasp well-made allusions and references.
Of course, if an actual reader does not know the original poem he may fail to grasp and appreciate it, but Japanese court poetry was intended for a class of connoisseurs, which of course is the only context in which this sort of use of quotation can play the desired role.

He happened to be affiliated with the noble Reizei house (descendants of Fujiwara no Teika) at a time when another faction was dominant at court; and also he managed to somehow offend the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshinori.
Furthermore, since it was the conservative standards of the Nijō tradition (also claiming descent from Teika) that dominated critical discourse throughout the Warring States and Edo periods, his work was also kept off the lists of "recommended reading" for poets for that reason—especially, again, for younger readers.
No doubt some people find this strange, but I believe that a close look at the originals shows that most uta "unfold" toward a final punch-line or revelation or conclusion of some sort which maintaining the original image order helps to approximate.

 2001 Waka - Shunzei
Fujiwara no Toshinari (better known to history as Shunzei) (1114-1204) was, perhaps, the most influential poetic figure of his age.
In his youth he studied widely, spending time learning from both Fujiwara no Mototoshi and Minamoto no Shunrai.
As the compiler of the Senzaishû, he was able to include gifted younger poets such as Saigyô, Fujiwara no Teika and Princess Shokushi and was thus able to champion new concepts and styles in waka composition and inaugurate the second great age of Japanese poetry, represented by the Shinkokinshû

The Fujiwara clan was founded by Nakatomi no Kamatari (614–69), who had assisted Prince Naka no Oe (later Emperor Tenji, reg 661–72) in the coup of 645 that eliminated the rival Soga family.
The Fujiwara reached the height of their power with the regent Fujiwara no Michinaga (966–1028), after whose time Fujiwara dominance at court began to decline.
(1) Fujiwara no Sari and (2) Fujiwara no Kozei, along with ONO NO MICHIKAZE, were renowned as the Sanseki (‘three brush traces’; Three Masters), so designated because of their accomplishments in both Chinese- and Japanese-style calligraphy, but several other members of the family also achieved fame as calligraphers or painters.

 Teika's Famous Poem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Teika alludes to two traditional subjects, the cherry blossoms of spring and the changing maple leaves of autumn, but instead of celebrating them directly, he describes a setting in late autumn or early winter in which they are conspicuously absent.
The setting itself, a monochromatic scene of a lowly fisherman's hut by the bay, is untraditional and suggests some of the new tastes of the medieval age.
But his explanation makes no mention of Tendai Buddhism and instead posits "new tastes of the medieval age." LaFleur would regard these new tastes as distinctly Buddhist.

Makura no sôshi has been used to rationalize within Japanese literary histories a linear development of the zuihitsu (literally, "following the brush," roughly equivalent to essay or miscellany) genre within the vernacular tradition, as well as the position of female writing within the history of Japanese literature.
As a result, Makura no sôshi plays an uneasy role of heading a group of male-authored texts of largely didactic nature, of which it, the female-authored text, appears to be the primitive prototype.

Under the insightful (and influential) eyes of the great Tea masters and taste-makers Shuko (1448-1474) and especially the legendary Sen no Rikyu (1522-1591), Bizen ware was elevated to the realm of art.
To Sen no Rikyu the earthy, yet elegant, qualities of Bizen ware complemented the aesthetics of the Tea ceremony as he intended to see it practiced: restrained, austere, sincere, pure.
This aesthetic is known as "wabi-sabi" and celebrates that which is poor, desolate, imperfect, and impermanent.
