Sarumaru no Taifu

Sarumaru no Taifu, also known as Sarumaru no Dayu (, sarumaru no taifu/dayu ) was a waka poet in the early Heian period. He is a member of the Thirty Six Poetic Sages (, sanjurokkasen ), but there are no detailed histories or legends about him. There is a possibility that there never was such a person.
