The Attendant to Empress Inpu (殷富門院大輔, Inpu-mon'in no Tayū, 1130–1200) was a Japanese noblewoman and waka poet in the Heian period. She was a daughter of Fujiwara no Nobunari, and, at court, served Princess Ryoshi (known as Inpumon-in), a daughter of Emperor Go-Shirakawa.
Poetry was integral to this court, and noble courtier were expected to be skilled poets; writing poetry was an essential part of entertainment, communication, and relationships. Inpumon-in-no-Tayu belonged to a particular poetry group which focused around the home of poet Shun-e Hoshi - an estate called "the Garden in the Poetic Forest". Members of the group held many poetry contests, for which Inpumon-in-no-Tayu wrote many poems.
Her work appears in a large number of imperial poetry collections, including Shingoshūi Wakashū, Senzai Wakashū, Shokugosen Wakashū, Gyokuyō Wakashū, Shinsenzai Wakashū, Shinchokusen Wakashū, and others.
Poetry
One of her poems is included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu:
見せばやな雄島のあまの袖だにも
ぬれにぞぬれし色はかはらず
misebaya na Ojima no ama no sode dani mo
nure ni zo nureshi iro wa kawarazu
(Senzai Wakashū 14:886)
