Template:Nihongo was an early Heian waka poet of the court and a member of the sanjūrokkasen or Thirty-Six Poetry Immortals. He was a compiler of the Kokin Wakashū, though he certainly did not see it to completion as the anthology includes a eulogy to him composed by Ki no Tsurayuki, his cousin and colleague in the compilation effort. Tomonori is the author of several poems in the Kokinshū, and a few of his poems appear in later official collections. A collection of his poems from various sources appeared as the Tomonori-shū.
Tomonori's most famous waka is included in Hyakunin Isshu that was compiled in the 13th century: Template:Waka This waka has been made a choral song "Hisakata No (In the Peaceful Light)" by Ruth Morris Gray<ref>Published by Alfred Publishing Co., Inc., U.S.A., 2009</ref> and is sung by various choral groups of the world.
