Ōtomo no Tabito
'Ōtomo no Tabito' (大伴旅人; c.
662-
731) was a
Japanese poet, best known as the father of
Ōtomo no Yakamochi, who contributed to compiling the
Man'yōshū alongside his father. Tabito was a contemporary of
Hitomaro, but lacked his success in the Imperial Court. While serving as Governor-General of
Dazaifu, the military procuracy in northern
Kyūshū from 728-730, Tabito hosted a plum-blossom party, encouraging the composition of poetry among his subordinates in imitation of Chinese style elegance. He also showed his Chinese education in his set of thirteen ''
tanka'' in praise of
sake.
