Fujiwara no Akimitsu
Edit Profile藤原 顕光
Career
En-shi was married to the Emperor"s son, Imperial Prince Atsuakira (敦明親王) (later, Ko-Ichijō In, 小一条院). When Imperial Prince Atsuakira chose to take on a daughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga as a second wife in return for declination from Crown Prince, En-shi grew spiteful and turned to Akimitsu for help. She died soon afterwards of grief, and Akimitsu is said to have asked a bonze (a monk) named Dōman to cast a spell or curse on Michinaga.
Akimitsu thus came to be known as Akuryō-safu (悪霊左府), meaning "the safu (=Sadaijin) with evil spirits.".
