About Anpō

Anpō was a Japanese waka poet of the Heian period. His given name was Minamoto no Shitagō (源趁); Anpō was his Dharma name. He had prestigious ancestry, but his immediate family fell on hard times. He entered religion and withdrew to an old mansion that had been built by one of his most famous ancestors. Many of his poems are on the theme of impermanence or are laments of his lost youth. He was included in the Late Classical Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry, and twelve of his poems were included in imperial anthologies.
