Fujiwara no Fusasaki

Fujiwara no Fusasaki

Fujiwara no Fusasaki (藤原房前, 681–737 A.D.) was a member of the Fujiwara clan in Japan and was a high-ranking minister of the court. He was the son of Fujiwara no Fuhito (659-720).

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.¹

His son Fujiwara no Uona was the founding ancestor of the northern branch of the Fujiwara.
