Fujiwara no Ietaka

Fujiwara no Ietaka (藤原家隆) was an early Kamakura period Japanese waka poet. Several of his poems are included in the Shin Kokin Wakashū. He was related by marriage to Jakuren, which made him strongly connected to the network of poets of the time. He was a pupil to Fujiwara no Shunzei.

Ietaka was involved in a number of poetic matches and has a personal collection Collection of Jeweled Songs (玉吟集).

"Remember well! Whose promises of love were they That brought this end? Fair clouds from yesterday                          blown away By the cold mountain's breath."
