Sanuki Province
Yasunori was appointed Kokushi of Sanuki Province in 882, and appointed "Dazai-no-Daini" (Assistant secretary of Dazaifu Province). Because Emperor Uda was evaluating Yasunori's abilities, Yasunori returned to Kyoto and was promoted to "Minbu-kyō" (民部卿, the secretary in Ministry of Taxation) in 891. At the age of seventy, he had a premonition that death was near. He went to Mountain Hiei, and died while chanting the nembutsu.
