Taira no Tadamori was a prominent [[shoen|estate]]-holder of the 12th century. He was the father of [[Taira no Kiyomori]], and grandfather of [[Emperor Antoku]], [[Taira no Atsumori]], and a number of other notable figures.
He was a son of [[Taira no Masamori]].
As of 1133, Tadamori held the ''[[shoen|shôen]]'' (estate) of Kamizaki in [[Hizen province]], and was overseer of the retirement palace of Retired [[Emperor Toba]]. He had notable involvement in foreign trade, and at that time, on at least one occasion, claimed exclusive right to the cargoes of a particular Chinese trading ship, resisting the involvement of the [[Dazaifu]] (the Imperial Court's branch office in [[Kyushu]] which ostensibly oversaw ''all'' foreign trade).
The flute Saeda which features prominently in the [[Noh]] play ''[[Atsumori]]'' was supposedly - in the play and other literary versions of the story - a gift from Emperor Toba to Tadamori.<ref>William de Bary, ''Sources of Japanese Tradition'', vol 1, Columbia University Press (2001), 278-280.</ref>
