Ishida Mitoku

Japanese: 石田未得 - いしだ・みとく

Year of death: July 18, 1669 (August 14, 1669)
Year of birth: Tensho 15 (1587)
A haiku poet from the early Edo period. His other names were Kendou and Tatsuan. He was from Edo. One theory is that he was born in 1588 (Tensho 16). According to "Kakushi Taiheiki," he worked at a money exchange shop in front of Tokiwabashi, but due to certain circumstances he left Edo and lived in seclusion in Sagami for a time. He later returned to Edo, where he became acquainted with Saito Tokugen and Takashima Gensatsu, and also studied under Matsunaga Teitoku, and by the end of the Kan'ei period (around 1644) he had become known as a haiku poet. He eventually became an active figure in the Edo haiku world, but he was also skilled in kyoka, and left behind the "Gogin Gashu." His son, Mita, was also known as a haiku poet. <References> Morikawa Akira, "Ishida Mita" (Meiji Shoin "Haiku Lectures" Volume 2)

江戸初期の俳人。別号は乾堂,巽庵。江戸の人。一説に生年は天正16(1588)年とも。『滑稽太平記』によれば,常盤橋前の両替店に居たが,子細有って江戸を立ち退き,一時相模に蟄居していたという。その後江戸に戻って,斎藤徳元や高島玄札と交わり松永貞徳にも教えを請い,寛永末年(1644年ごろ)には俳人として知られるようになった。やがて江戸俳壇の名士として活躍するようになるが,狂歌にも巧みで『吾吟我集』を残している。息子の未啄も俳人として知られた。<参考文献>森川昭「石田未得」(明治書院『俳句講座』2巻)
