Fujiwara no Suenori

Fujiwara no Suenori (藤原 季範, 1090 – December 27, 1155) was a Japanese nobleman and High Priest of Atsuta Shrine during the late Heian period.

[2] Suenori's mother was the daughter of Owari Kazumoto, the high priest (daigūji) of Atsuta Shrine.

[4] In August of the 3rd year of Hōen (1137), Suenori, having seen a dream, passed the position of high priest down to his fifth son, Norimasa.

However, after Suenori's death in 1155, his eldest son Noritada took the position from his younger brother.

Thus, besides the Imperial Court, the family had close ties to the samurai military government as well.
