Taira no Shigemori

Taira no Shigemori was a mid-Heian warrior, the second son of Taira no Kunika and younger brother of Taira no Sadamori. He fought beside Sadamori to suppress Taira no Masakado's revolt of 939–940 and won fame, but got little reward and was left resentful.

Appointed daijō, senior secretary of Hitachi, he became known as Daijō Shigemori, founder of the Hitachi Taira. In 986 he dedicated six hundred scrolls of the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra to Enryaku-ji, an offering his rivals obstructed in Musashi.
