Taira no Chikakiyo's fifth daughter (平親清五女, Taira no Chikakiyo no gojo) was a Japanese waka poet of the Kamakura period.[1][2]
Biography
[edit]The Kamakura-period waka poet conventionally known in Japanese as Taira no Chikakiyo no gojo was the daughter of Taira no Chikakiyo[3] and Saneki's mother.[3][1][2] This "name" translates to "Taira no Chikakiyo's fifth daughter", and her personal name is unknown.[citation needed]
She was the full sibling of Chikakiyo's fourth daughter.[3] Her relationship (and that of the aforementioned fourth daughter[4]) to the "Chikakiyo's daughter" (平親清女, Taira no Chikakiyo no musume), whose poems appear in the Shoku-Kokin Wakashū and later imperial anthologies,[3] and "Chikakiyo's daughter's younger sister" (平親清女妹, Taira no Chikakiyo no musume no imōto), whose poems appear in the Shoku-Shūi Wakashū and later anthologies,[3] is unknown.[3] At some point she was on Mount Mino (美濃の御山, Mino no oyama).[3] After entering religious orders she lived deep in Higashiyama.[3]
Both her birth and death dates are unknown.[3]
