Sosei Hōshi by Kanō Tan’yū, 1648
Sosei (Japanese: 素性 or 素性法師, c. 844 — 910) was a Japanese waka poet and Buddhist priest. He is listed as one of the Thirty-six Poetry Immortals, and one of his poems was included in the famous anthology Hyakunin Isshu. His father Henjo was also a waka poet and monk.
Sosei entered religious life sometime after his father, who took the tonsure after the death of Emperor Nimmyō in 850.
