Taira-no-Tsunechika (years of birth and death unkown) was a court vassal who served very close to Emperor Fushimi (1265-1317). Though he had ascended to the government position of Provisional Major Counselor, he renounced the world to become a Buddhist monk after attending the Emperor’s funeral service held on September 4, 1317. He was given the Buddhist name of Joku.The extant letter appearing here requests that Nijo Tameyo “should submit the original deed of transfer conferred upon him by his grandfather Fujiwara-no-Tameiye.” It was written by Tsunechika when he was involved with the compilation of the imperially commissioned poetic anthology under Emperor Fushimi. Between the beginning of 1310 and July that year, there were bitter arguments between Nijo Tameyo and Kyogoku Tamekane (1254-1332), who were both descendants of Fujiwara-no-Sadaie (also Teika,1162-1241), over the selection committee for the new Imperial poetic anthology, Gyokuyo Wakashu (lit. Collection of Beautiful Leaves of Japanese Poetry), each submitting petition letters to the authorities. For Tameyo, the deed of transfer given him by Tameiye was his last resort. However, after a series of eventful developments, Tamekane emerged the winner and the Gyokuyo Wakashu was finally completed and dedicated to the Emperor in 1312.
