was a Japanese noble of the early Heian period. He was the eldest son of the ''chūnagon'' Fujiwara no Tanetsugu of the Fujiwara Shikike. He reached the court rank of and ''sangi''. == Life == When Nakanari's father Tanetsugu was assassinated in 785, Nakanari was granted the rank of despite his youth. In Emperor Kanmu's court, he held various regional positions, as well as positions in the imperial guard and ''Daijō-kan''. He was also promoted three times, culminating in the rank of in 801. In the court of Emperor Heizei, Nakanari's younger sister Kusuko was favored by the Emperor, and Nakanari too was valued and boasted political power. Despite this, his treacherous and arbitrary actions made him unpopular. He may also have been involved in the Prince Iyo Incident of 807, in which Heizei's younger brother Prince Iyo was accused of leading a conspiracy and ultimately committed suicide, and after which Nakanari was promoted into more important positions. In 809 he was appointed as of the Hokurikudō, a position roughly equivalent to ''sangi'', thus joining the ranks of the ''kugyō''. Later that year, Heizei abdicated the throne in favor of his younger brother Emperor Saga. Nakanari and Kusuko, fearing the loss of their political influence, moved with him to Heijō-kyō and schemed for him to retake the throne, encouraging him to create an opposing court to Saga's in what became known as the Kusuko Incident. In 810, with the elimination of the ''kansatsu-shi'' system, Nakanari was moved into the equivalent rank of ''sangi''. However, when Heizei ordered the return of the capital to Heijō-kyō that autumn, relations between the two courts worsened even further, and a few days later Nakanari was captured by Saga's side. He was confined and demoted to provisional governor of Sado Province, and the next day was executed by the archery of and . Nakanari's execution is held to be the last carried out by the central Japanese court until the Hōgen Rebellion of 1156. However, according to the scholar Masataka Uwayokote, because the method of execution used did not comply with the beheading or strangling options defined in the Yōrō Code, and because it happened after Nakanari was officially demoted, this execution may have been a personal command by the Emperor rather than a formal execution under the Ritsuryō law. 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 Nakanari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
