二条后

にじょうのきさい, born 藤原高子(ふじわらたかいこ 842-910)).

A Consort of Emperor Seiwa and the mother of Emperor Yōzei. She was a patron of a number of prominent poets of the KKS period, although her own poetic activity was limited. She is represented by a single poem in the Imperial anthologies, KKS 4. She may have had a romantic relationship with Ariwara no Narihira, but the truth behind this is hard to separate from the legends that grew up around the pair.

• KKS: 4
• GSS: 1
