Minamoto Shitagō

Minamoto Shitagō

▪ Japanese poet
born 911, Japan
died 983, Japan

      Japanese poet of the middle Heian period (794–1185).

      Although he was a descendant of the emperor Saga and was a member of the powerful Minamoto clan, Shitagō was barred from high political position because he did not belong to the Fujiwara family, which controlled the government. Instead he devoted himself to scholarly and literary pursuits and became recognized as one of the outstanding poets of ancient Japan. He helped compile the Gosen-shū and, as one of the Nashitsubo no Go'nin (“Five Men of the Pear Garden”), also engaged in the interpretation of the Man'yō-shū. Minamoto no Shitagō shū, a collection of his works, revealed his discontent and frustration over his lack of success in official life. He frequently participated in poetry contests. During the Shōhei era (931–938) he compiled the Wamyō ruijūshō, a dictionary of Japanese and Chinese words by categories, which was the first dictionary in Japan. He is also thought to be the author of many other works, including Utsubo monogatari (“The Tale of the Hollow Tree”), written between 956 and 983.
