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.

Biography

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]

Poetry

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:

Japanese text[8]	Romanized Japanese[9]	English translation[10]
恨みわび ほさぬ袖だに あるものを 恋に朽ちなむ 名こそ惜しけれ	Urami-wabi hosanu sode dani aru mono wo koi ni kuchinan na koso oshikere	My sleeves will never dry with all these bitter tears of unrequited love. But even worse, the regret of having lost my good name— tainted by this love.

She produced a private collection, the Sagami-shū (相模集).[11]
