General

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.[1]
