Onoshi no Tamori (小野氏淡理) was a Japanese noble and waka poet in the Nara period.

Biography

The details of the life of Onoshi no Tamori are 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,[1] then the governor (一大宰帥 ichi Dazai no sochi) of the Dazaifu.[1]

Yūkichi Takeda's Man'yōshū Zenchūshaku (万葉集全註釈) speculates that he may have been the same person as the Ono no Tamori who served as ambassador (ja) to Parhae.[1]

Poetry

Poem 846 in the Man'yōshū is attributed to him.[1]
