Sarumaru no Taifu, also known as Sarumaru no Dayū (猿丸大夫) was a waka poet in the early Heian period.[ citation needed] He is a member of the Thirty Six Poetic Sages (三十六歌仙, Sanjūrokkasen), but there are no detailed histories or legends about him. There is a possibility that there never was such a person. Some believe him to have been Prince Yamashiro no Ōe.
The following waka is attributed to him, a classic autumn poem (秋歌, aki no uta):
Japanese [1] | Rōmaji [1] | English translation [2] |
奥山に |
Okuyama ni |
Autumn at its saddest— |
This poem is the 215th poem of the Kokin Wakashū, and was also incorporated into Fujiwara no Teika's famous Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, as number 5.
