Teika lived to the age of eighty, and we have a great deal of information about his life. Much of it comes from his own diary, Meigetsuki , which he kept for over fifty years. Teika was born into a literary house and achieved early success as a poet, but suffered a number of setbacks, including the fall from power of his patrons, the Kujō family. He returned to the center of poetic activity thanks to the backing of Retired Emperor Go-Toba, commissioner of the eighth imperial anthology of waka poetry, the Shin Kokinshū . After Teika and Go-Toba became estranged, Teika’s career advanced even further when military authorities exiled Go-Toba and his sons in retaliation for their attempt to topple the Kamakura shogunate.
