Fujiwara no Nagaie

Fujiwara no Nagaie (1005–1064) was a mid-Heian noble and waka poet, the youngest son of the regent Fujiwara no Michinaga. He advanced rapidly, joining the council in 1022 and reaching provisional senior counselor, his highest post, in 1028; his elder brothers blocked any further rise.

In 1060 he burned his carriage when his young nephew Morozane was promoted past him. He took vows during illness in 1064 and died weeks later, founding the Mikohidari house of poets, the line of Shunzei and Teika.
