Fujiwara no Yoshitaka

Fujiwara no Yoshitaka (藤原 義孝, 954–974) was a Japanese waka poet of the mid-Heian period.

[1] When his father died, Yoshitaka considered ordaining as a Buddhist monk.

In the same year his son was born, which dissuaded him from pursuing a religious career.

[1][2] Twelve of his poems were included in imperial anthologies, and he was listed as one of the Late Classical Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry.
