About this person
Miyako no Yoshika was a Japanese poet, scholar and court official active in the Heian period. He was responsible for the civil service examination of Sugawara no Michizane and later acted as one of the compilers of the Nihon Montoku Tennō Jitsuroku. Many documents prepared by him, as well as a number of his poems, were collected in a volume known as Toshi Bunshū (都氏文集), which only survives in fragments. He became the subject of a number of legends describing his encounters with supernatural beings, such as the oni of Rashōmon and the goddess Benzaiten, as well as with pursuit of immortality.
