Henjō (へん正).

Henjō, born as Yoshimine no Munesada, was a renowned poet and Buddhist priest of the Tendai sect during the early Heian era (794 - 1185).
He is celebrated as one of the six notable waka poets, known as the Rokkasen, and is also included among the Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry, a prestigious group of classical Japanese poets.
Henjō`s poetry is prominently featured in the "Kokinwakashū", one of Japan`s most important anthologies of waka poetry, compiled in the early 10th century. This anthology holds a significant place in Japanese literary history alongside the "Manyōshū", as it reflects the aesthetic and thematic preferences of the early Heian period.
Henjō`s works often explore themes of nature, love, and Buddhist philosophy, embodying the delicate and evocative style characteristic of Heian-era poetry.
His contributions to the "Kokinwakashū" and his inclusion in the Rokkasen and Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry underscore his enduring influence on Japanese literature and cultural heritage.
