Nijō Tameakira
Japanese courtier and waka poet (1295–1364)
Nijō Tameakira (二条為明, 1295–1364), also known as Fujiwara no Tameakira (藤原為定), was a Japanese courtier and waka poet of the late Kamakura period and Nanbokuchō period.
He was tied to Emperor Go-Daigo early in the latter's conflict with the Kamakura shogunate and was exiled to Shikoku, but returned to the capital during the Kenmu Restoration.
Later in his life, he was closely linked with the second Muromachi shōgun, Ashikaga Yoshiakira, and was assigned to the compilation of the Shinshūi Wakashū, the nineteenth imperial anthology of waka poetry, but died before it could be completed.
