Fujiwara no Akihira (藤原 明衡; 989? – November 14, 1066) was a Japanese nobleman and kanshi poet of the Heian period.
Fujiwara no Akihira was the second child of Fujiwara no Atsunobu.[1] His mother was a daughter of 良峰英材,[2] or possibly a daughter of Tachibana no Tsunehira .[2] He was probably born around 989.[2]
He studied under his father from a young age,[2] and in Kankō 1 (1004 in the Gregorian calendar) enrolled in the Monjō-in .[2]
Among his children were Fujiwara no Atsumoto[2] and Fujiwara no Atsumitsu.[2]
According to the Chokusen Sakusha Burui (勅撰作者部類), he died on the 18th day of the tenth month in Jiryaku 2 (November 14, 1066).[2] In his article on Akihira for the Nihon Koten Bungaku Daijiten, Shōsuke Ōsone suggests that he may have been 78 (by Japanese reckoning) at the time of his death.[2]
