Harumichi no Tsuraki
Harumichi no Tsuraki (春道 列樹) was a Japanese poet who died in 920AD.
He graduated from the Imperial Univeristy in his lfietime and then became a Greater Secretary at Dazaifu. He was then given the position of Governor in Iki Province but died before taking the post. We can find three of his poems in the Kokinshū and two in the Gosenshū.
One of his poems (No.32) can be found in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu and goes as follows:1
