Fujiwara no Akisue

Fujiwara no Akisue (1055–1123) was a nobleman and waka poet of the late Heian period, the second son of Fujiwara no Takatsune, governor of Mino Province. As his mother was Emperor Shirakawa's wet nurse, Akisue was the emperor's foster brother and trusted aide at court.

He grew wealthy through provincial governorships, and in 1104 reached Junior Third Rank, the first of his lineage at court in two centuries. Known as the Rokujō Shuri no Daibu, he founded the Rokujō Fujiwara school of poetry.
