Gofukakusa-in no shōshō no naishi ( Japanese: 後 深 草 院 少将 内侍 died: around 1265), (also Shōshō no Naishi) was a Japanese poet during the Kamakura period. [1] She was among the Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry. [2] [3]

She was the daughter of the artist and aristocrat Fujiwara no Nobuzane and the younger sister of the poets Ben no naishi, Sōhekimon-in no shōshō and the painter Fujwara no Tametsugu. She served as the court lady of Emperor Go-Fukakusa, from where her nickname comes.

Together with her sister Ben no naishi, she belonged to a group of Renga-style poets whose works were included in the Tsukubashū collection created around 1356.
