Wake no Kiyomaro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wake no Kiyomaro (和気清麻呂; 733 - 99) was a Japanese high-ranked official. He was born in Bizen Province (now Wake, Okayama).
In 769, he was sent to Usa shrine to receive a divine message; it refuted the previous one, which claimed Dokyo was to be the next emperor after Empress Kōken (later Empress Shōtoku).
