Utsunomiya Yoritsuna

He was a close friend of Fujiwara no Teika^[1][2] and his daughter married Teika's son Tameie.^[3][4] He is also said to have commissioned Teika's compilation of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.^[4][5] The collection was originally prepared (in a slightly different form to the present Ogura Hyakunin Isshu) to decorate screens (屏風歌, byōbu-uta; "screen-poems") in Yoritsuna's Mt. Ogura residence in the Saga district of Kyoto.^[4][6]

He was the head of one of the chief poetic houses of the Kamakura period.^[4]
