Template:Japanese name Yamanoue no Okura (山上憶良, also written as 山於億良, 660?–733?) was a Japanese poet, the best known for his poems of children and commoners. He was a member of Japanese missions to Tang China. He was also a contributor to the Man'yōshū and his writing had a strong Chinese influence. Unlike other Japanese poetry of the time, his work emphasizes a morality based on the teachings of Confucius. Most scholars believe that he was born in 660, on the basis of his Chinese prose "Chin'a Jiai-bun" recorded in the fifth volume of Man'yōshū as a work written in 733 (Tenpyō 5), in which he says, "In this year, I am 74."[1]
Based on a reference to the Yamanoue clan in the Shinsen Shōjiroku, he was said to be descendant of Emperor Kōshō[2], but literary scholars including Susumu Nakanishi have proposed that he was born in the Korean kingdom of Baekje.[3][4][5]
