Fujiwara no Yorimichi

Fujiwara no Yorimichi (藤原 頼通) (992–1071) was a Japanese court noble.

He succeeded his father Michinaga to the position of Sesshō in 1017, and then went on to become Kampaku from 1020 until 1068.

By edict, he was raised above his colleagues, to the title of Ichi no Hito, or First Subject.

In addition to the reason of direct succession from his father, this edict was presumably necessary to allow Yorimichi to become Sesshō.

In 1072, he ordained as a Buddhist monk and took the Dharma name Rengekaku (蓮華覚), later changed to Jakukaku (寂覚).
