Sakanoue no Korenori (坂上是則?) was a Japanese waka poet of the early Heian period.[1] His exact dates of birth and death are unknown,[1][2] but he was a fourth-generation descendant of Sakanoue no Tamuramaro.[1]

He was one of the Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry[1][2] and one of his poems was included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.[3][4] Forty-one of his poems were ultimately included in the imperial anthologies.[2]

He was the father of the poet Mochiki (望城?, ?-975).[1][5]

During his own life he was known primarily as a champion kemari player.[2] On March 2, 905, he and his colleagues kicked a ball 206 times without interruption at the Imperial Court, and were praised by the emperor.[citation needed]

He served as governor of Kaga Province.[2]

Poetry

One of his poems was included as No. 31 in Fujiwara no Teika's Ogura Hyakunin Isshu:

Japanese text[4] Romanized Japanese[6] English translation[3]
朝ぼらけ
有明の月と
みるまでに
吉野の里に
ふれる白雪
Asaborake
ariake no tsuki to
miru made ni
yoshino no sato ni
fureru shira-yuki
The first light
over Yoshino village—
The snow has piled
so deep, so white
I cannot tell it from the
dawn's pale moonlight
