The Attendant to Empress Inpu (殷富門院大輔, Inpu-mon'in no Tayū, 1130–1200)[1] was a Japanese noblewoman and waka poet in the Heian period.[2][3] She was a daughter of Fujiwara no Nobunari, and, at court, served Princess Ryoshi (known as Inpumon-in), a daughter of Emperor Go-Shirakawa.[4][5]
Poetry was integral to this court, and noble courtier were expected to be skilled poets; writing poetry was an essential part of entertainment, communication, and relationships.[2] Inpumon-in-no-Tayu belonged to a particular poetry group which focused around the home of poet Shun-e Hoshi - an estate called "the Garden in the Poetic Forest".[1][2] Members of the group held many poetry contests, for which Inpumon-in-no-Tayu wrote many poems.[1]
Her work appears in a large number of imperial poetry collections, including Shingoshūi Wakashū, Senzai Wakashū, Shokugosen Wakashū, Gyokuyō Wakashū, Shinsenzai Wakashū, Shinchokusen Wakashū, and others.[6][3]

ぬれにぞぬれし色はかはらず
misebaya na Ojima no ama no sode dani mo

(Senzai Wakashū 14:886)
