The paper centres on the poetic works of Sugawara no Michizane (845-903) and explores the theme of wine. By examining a selection of compositions that feature wine as a subject or involve characters like sake 酒 or yoi 酔, the author seeks to challenge the prevailing notion that Michizane was unable to consume alcohol or had limited appreciation for gatherings involving alcoholic beverages. The paper's aim is to offer fresh perspectives on the contrast between public and private poetry during the early Heian period in Japan. This includes revaluating the notion of a strict division between hare and ke.
