Onoe Shibafune - Onoe Saishu

Poet, Japanese literature scholar, calligrapher. His real name was Hachiro. Born on August 20, 1876 in Okayama Prefecture. Graduated from the Department of Japanese Literature at Tokyo Imperial University. He taught at Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School and the Women's Gakushuin University. He participated in Ochiai Naofumi's Asaka-sha, but in his work "Sōkei Shi" (1902), which he co-edited with Kaneko Kunen, he advocated a style of scenic poetry that rivaled the style of poetry in the "Myojō" of the time. In 1905 (Meiji 38), he formed the "Shazensōsha" with Wakayama Bokusui and Maeda Yugure. After publishing the poetry magazine "Shazensō" (first published in 1911), he founded "Mizugame" in 1914 (Taisho 3). During this time, his critique "A Personal Theory on the Extinction of Tanka" ("Sosaku", October 1910) caused a stir. He moved from the romantic style of his poetry collection "Ginrin" (1904) to a more contemplative and straightforward style that emphasized everyday life and reality. In addition to many poetry collections such as "Silent Night," "Eternal Days," "From the Edge of a Diary," and "Clear River," he also wrote early poetry collections such as "Poetry of Heine" and "Golden Sail." He also wrote books on classical studies such as "Commentary on New Kokin Wakashu," waka studies, and calligraphy studies such as "Research on Heian Period Kusakana" (1923, for which he received a Doctor of Literature). As a calligrapher, he was known as a master of kana, and became a member of the Japan Art Academy. He died on January 13, 1957.

歌人、国文学者、書家。本名八郎。明治9年8月20日岡山県生まれ。東京帝国大学国文科卒業。東京女高師、女子学習院教授などを経た。落合直文(おちあいなおぶみ)の「あさ香社」に参加したが、金子薫園(くんえん)と共編の『叙景詩』（1902）で、当時の『明星(みょうじょう)』的歌風に対抗する叙景歌を主張。1905年（明治38）若山牧水、前田夕暮(ゆうぐれ)らと「車前草社(しゃぜんそうしゃ)」結成。さらに歌誌『車前草』（1911創刊）を経て、14年（大正3）『水甕(みずがめ)』を創刊した。この間、「短歌滅亡私論」（『創作』1910.10）の評論は反響をよんだ。詩歌集『銀鈴』（1904）の浪漫(ろうまん)的な歌風から、日常性、現実性を重んじる、思索的で平明な歌風に移行。『静夜』『永日』『日記の端より』『晴川』など多くの歌集のほか、初期に『ハイネの詩』『金帆』の詩集もある。さらに『評釈新古今和歌集』などの古典研究、歌学に関する著書、『平安朝草仮名の研究』（1923。これにより文学博士）など書道研究があり、書家としては仮名の大家として知られ、芸術院会員となった。昭和32年1月13日没。
