Sagami (相模, dates unknown, but born c. 1000), also known as Oto-jijū (乙侍従), was a Japanese waka poet of the mid- Heian period. One of her poems was included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. She produced a private collection, the Sagami-shū.
Sagami's dates are unknown, [1] but she was probably born around 1000. [2] Her real name was Oto-jijū. [3]
Her paternal ancestry is unknown, [4] but she was supposedly a daughter of Minamoto no Yorimitsu. [5] The fourteenth-century work Chokusen Sakusha Burui (勅撰作者部類) claims Yorimitsu was her father, [4] but the Kin'yōshū includes a renga by Yorimitsu and "Sagami's mother" (相模母), so it is also possible he was her adoptive father. [4] Her mother was a daughter of Yoshishige no Yasuaki, governor of Noto (前能登守慶滋保章). [4]
She was married to Ōe no Kin'yori (大江公資, also read Kinsuke [6]), during his tenure as the governor of Sagami Province, [7] from which her nickname is derived. [4] She served Prince Shūshi (脩子内親王, Shūshi-naishinnō), one of the sons of Emperor Ichijō. [6]
109 of her poems were included in imperial anthologies starting with the Goshūi Wakashū. [5] She was included in the Late Classical Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry. [2]
The following poem by her was included as No. 65 in Fujiwara no Teika's Ogura Hyakunin Isshu:
