Ki no Maetsukimi
Ki no Maetsukimi (紀卿, literally "the Lord of Ki") was a Japanese noble and waka poet in the Nara period.
Biography
The details of the life of the poet known as Ki no Maetsukimi (maetsukimi meaning a lord, and "Ki" being a noble family's name) are unknown. In Tenpyō 2 (730) he participated in a plum blossom-viewing party at the residence of Ōtomo no Tabito,[1] then the governor (一大宰帥 ichi Dazai no sochi) of the Dazaifu.[1]
Yūkichi Takeda's Man'yōshū Zenchūshaku (万葉集全註釈) speculates that he may have been the same person who died in Tenpyō 10 (738) while serving as co-administrator (大弐) of the Dazaifu.[1]
Poetry
Poem 815 in the Man'yōshū is attributed to him.[1]
