Ono Kodo - Ono Furumichi

Japanese: 小野古道 - おの・ふるみち

Years of birth: unknown. A poet of the mid-Edo period. Family name: Hasegawa. Commonly known as Kenmasu. He is said to have been a doctor by profession, but lost his sight in middle age and turned to acupuncture and abdominal massage to gain fame, but the truth of this is unknown. He is said to have been the first disciple of Kamo no Mabuchi, who came to Edo, but this is also unclear. In short, there are few documents that can tell us about Kodo's character other than the Ono Kodo Kashu, included in the second volume of Kenmon Iko, edited by Shimizu Hamaomi, so his true character is unknown. It is certain that he lived until the An'ei period (1772-81), and an exchange of poems between him and Kato Edanao has been pointed out.

生年：生没年不詳
江戸中期の歌人。姓長谷川。通称謙益。医を業としたが中年にして失明,鍼術・按腹に転じて名を得たとされるが,真偽のほどは不明。江戸に下った賀茂真淵の最初の門人となったというが,これも判然としない。要するに清水浜臣編『県門遺稿』第2集に収められた『小野古道家集』以外に古道の人となりを知るに足る資料が乏しいので,実像は不明というほかはない。安永期(1772～81)まで生存したのは確からしく,加藤枝直との贈答歌が指摘されている。
