Sagami (poet)

Sagami (相模, dates unknown, but born c. 1000), also known as Oto-jijū (乙侍従), was a Japanese waka poet of the mid-Heian period.

[5] The fourteenth-century work Chokusen Sakusha Burui (勅撰作者部類) claims Yorimitsu was her father,[4] but the Kin'yōshū includes a renga by Yorimitsu and "Sagami's mother" (相模母), so it is also possible he was her adoptive father.

[4] She was married to Ōe no Kin'yori (大江公資, also read Kinsuke[6]), during his tenure as the governor of Sagami Province,[7] from which her nickname is derived.

[4] She served Prince Shūshi (脩子内親王, Shūshi-naishinnō), one of the sons of Emperor Ichijō.

65 in Fujiwara no Teika's Ogura Hyakunin Isshu: She produced a private collection, the Sagami-shū (相模集).
