• Source: Fujiwara no Fusasaki

Fujiwara no Fusasaki (藤原 房前, 681 – May 25, 737) was a Japanese court noble who was a member of the Fujiwara clan and the founder of the Hokke House of the Fujiwara. He served as Sangi (Associate Counselor) in the Imperial Court.




Career


Fusasaki was a Sangi (associate counselor) in the Daijō-kan.
He founded the temple of Sugimoto-dera in Kamakura in 734 with the priest Gyōki (668–749). The temple's legend holds that Empress Komyo (701–760) in the Nara Period (710–794) instructed Fusasaki, the then high-ranking minister, and a famous priest named Gyoki (668–749) to build the temple enshrining a statue of Eleven-Headed Kan'non, or Ekadasamukha in Sanskrit, as the main object of worship. Priest Gyoki fashioned the statue himself because he was also a great sculptor.
Fusasaki died during a major smallpox epidemic in 737.
