In [[719]], Fujiwara no Umakai became governor of Hitachi province, having just returned to Japan from China where he was vice-envoy [[Kentoshi]]. In his new post, he was also in charge of inspecting the leadership of Kazusa, Awa, and Shimo tsu Fusa provinces. An accomplished poet, the Man'yoshu contains six of his works<ref>Mark C. Funke, "Monumenta Nipponica", "Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki"</ref>. Along with three of his brothers, Umakai died in a [[735]] nationwide outbreak of smallpox that killed numerous aristocrats, and it is suggested in the Cambridge History of Japan, "approximately one-third of the entire population perished during those two years."
