Biography
Biography
The details of the life of Ono no Kunikata are largely unknown. He was likely a member of the Ono clan. In Tenpyō 2 (730) he participated in a plum blossom-viewing party at the residence of Ōtomo no Tabito, then the ichi dazai no sochi of the Dazaifu. He was probably an officer of the Dazaifu. Shakyō-shi shishō (scribe) records from the Tenpyō 10s (25 January 738 – 3 February 747 in the Julian calendar) indicate that he was of the upper toneri dai-soi. These are Volumes 2, 7, 8, and 9 of the Dai-Nihon Komonjo.
