Fun'ya no Asayasu

Fun'ya no Asayasu, also Bunya no Asayasu, (文屋朝康, end of the 9th century — beginning of 10th century) was a Japanese poet of Heian period.^[1]

He was the son of Fun'ya no Yasuhide.^[2]

His poem in the Hyakunin Isshu is No. 37:

Shira tsuyu ni Kaze no fukishiku  Aki no no wa Tsuranuki-tomenu Tama zo chiri keru.	This lovely morn the dewdrops flash   Like diamonds on the grass— A blaze of sparkling jewels! But   The autumn wind, alas!   Scatters them as I pass.
	—Translated by William N. Porter, 1909

He is said to have composed this verse at the request of the Emperor Daigo in the year 900.^[1]
