was a Japanese noble and poet of the Nara period. He was the son of Fujiwara no Maro, and, according to the genealogy book ''Sonpi Bunmyaku'', his mother was Uneme of Yakami no Kōri, Inaba Province, who is probably the same person who had a famous affair with Aki no Ōkimi. The collection of Japanese poems ''Man'yōshū'' does not include his works. With an unknown woman he had a son , among other children with other women. The footnote of ''Sonpi Bunmyaku'', however, notes that Toyohiko is actually the grandson of Hamanari. Hamanari achieved the court rank of and the position of ''sangi''. == Life == As the heir of his father Maro, the founder of the Kyōke, Hamanari was a central figure of that clan. However, he was almost a generation younger than the second heads of the Nanke, Hokke, and Shikike, and this left him always a step behind their advancement. Hamanari was conferred the rank of in 751. Under Empress Kōken, he held high-level positions in various ministries, but his promotion stagnated at this rank until Fujiwara no Nakamaro's rebellion in 764. He supported Empress Kōken's side in the conflict, and was promoted to a month later. He held a position as director of the ''gyōbu-shō'', and in 772 was promoted to and ''sangi'', joining the ranks of the ''kugyō''. In 773, Emperor Kōnin's heir was disinherited, and according to the ''rekishi monogatari'' Mizukagami, Hamanari opposed Fujiwara no Momokawa's candidate Prince Yamabe, the future Emperor Kanmu, in favor of his brother by another mother, on the grounds that Yamabe's mother was descended from immigrants from Baekje. Still, Hamanari was steadily promoted in Kōnin's court: in 774 to , in 775 to , and in 776 to . In 781, after Emperor Kanmu assumed the throne, Hamanari was assigned away from the capital as director of the Dazaifu. Two months later, he was demoted within that body, had his retainers reduced from ten people to three and his stipend reduced by two-thirds, and was commanded to stop performing his actual duties and leave them to his supposed subordinate. This was likely intended by Kanmu to set an example for his opposition, and perhaps also as retribution. In 782, Hamanari's son-in-law Higami no Kawatsugu rebelled, and Hamanari was implicated and stripped of his high position as ''sangi''. He was never able to return to the center of government. Hamanari died in the Daizaifu in 790, at the age of 67. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fujiwara no Hamanari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
