Nobutoku Ito

Japanese: 伊藤信徳 - いとう・しんとく

Year of death: 15 November 1698 (13 October 1698)
Year of birth: Kan'ei 10 (1633)
A haiku poet of the early Edo period. His pen names were Nashikakien and Takeinuko. He was a wealthy merchant in Kyoto who learned haiku from Takase Baise. He later converted to the Danrin school and in 1677 he went to Edo, where he published Edo Sangin, a three-volume collection of 100 verses with Tosei (Matsuo Basho) and Shinsho (Yamaguchi Sodo). He continued to keep in touch with Basho after that. As the status of both men in the haiku world rose during the Jokyo and Genroku periods (1684-1704), their relationship became more estranged, but as a representative haiku poet in the Kyoto haiku world at the time, it can be said that his status in the world was comparable to that of Basho. <References> Ogino Kiyoshi, Genroku Meika Kushu, Ochi Mitoko, Shintoku Nenpu Ko (Kokugo Kokubun, January 1973 issue)

江戸前期の俳人。別号は梨柿園,竹犬子。京都の裕福な商人で俳諧を高瀬梅盛に学んだ。のちに談林派に転向し,延宝5(1677)年江戸に下り,桃青(松尾芭蕉),信章(山口素堂)と百韻3巻を巻き『江戸三吟』を出版した。その後も芭蕉との交流は続く。貞享・元禄(1684～1704)にかけて両者の俳壇的地位が向上するにつれて,その関係は疎遠になるが,京都俳壇の代表的俳人として,当時その俳壇的地位は芭蕉と相拮抗していたといってよい。<参考文献>荻野清『元禄名家句集』,越智美登子「信徳年譜稿」(『国語国文』1973年1月号)
