Ariwara no Narihira (825–880) was a Japanese courtier and waka poet of the early Heian period. He was named one of both the Six Poetic Geniuses and the Thirty-Six Poetic Geniuses, and one of his poems was included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu collection. He exerted a profound influence on later Japanese culture; his many renowned love affairs inspired The Tales of Ise, and he has ever since been a model of the handsome, amorous nobleman. He is also known as Zai Go-Chūjō, Zai Go, Zai Chūjō or Mukashi-Otoko.
