Sone no Yoshitada
Sone no Yoshitada (曾禰好忠?) was a Japanese waka poet of the mid-Heian period. His exact dates of birth and death are unknown[1][2][3][4] but he flourished in the second half of the tenth century.[1] He was one of the Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry[2][4] and one of his poems was included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.[1][5]
Because he was a secretary (掾 jō?) of Tango Province he is occasionally known by the nicknames Sotango (曾丹後?, a combination of the first character of his name with the name of the province) and Sotan (曾丹?, a combination of the first characters of both his name and the province).[1][2][3][4][5] He was known as an eccentric individual[1][2] with numerous anecdotes told about him.[2][5] He was not well regarded in his own time but later was recognized as a highly innovative poet,[1][4] with roughly 90 of his poems appearing in imperial anthologies.[3]
The following poem by him was No. 46 in Fujiwara no Teika's Ogura Hyakunin Isshu:
