Minamoto no Sukenori

Minamoto no Sukenori (951–998) was a mid-Heian court noble of the Uda Genji, the fourth son of the Sadaijin Minamoto no Masanobu. Unlike most aristocratic heirs, he studied at the State Academy, becoming a literary scholar in 975 and a palace secretary in 977.

After provincial governorships he served Emperor Ichijō, heading the imperial secretariat in 991 and joining the council as Sangi in 994. His eldest son Nariyori was the ancestor of the Sasaki clan of Ōmi Province.
