Katsushika School

A school of haiku poetry. Also known as Katsushika Seimon. The school was founded by Yamaguchi Sodo (1642-1716) and was so named because Sodo lived in Katsushika, Edo (Fukagawa, Koto-ku, Tokyo). The heads of the school have inherited Sodo's nickname Kijitsuan for successive generations, and include the first Sodo, the second Hasegawa Bakou, the third Mizoguchi Somaru, the fourth Kato Yaitsu, the fifth Sekine Hakukin, the sixth Shikakubo Minamidai, the seventh Sekine Retsuzan, the eighth Baba Shinshin, the ninth Baba Kinko, the tenth Hashimoto Sankyo, and the eleventh Takemoto Sokoto. Sodo had the air of a hermit, and the second, Maku, also started out as a hobbyist in haiku, later becoming famous as one of the "Goshikizumi" (five-colored ink) school. The third, Somaru, teamed up with Ryota of the Setsunmon school, and in the early Tenmei era (1781-1788), he took the name Katsushika Seimon and expanded the influence of the school, and the ninth, Kinko, worked hard to study the "Seven Haikai Collections." The Katsushika school has had many scholarly people since the first generation, and they made a great contribution to haiku research.

俳諧(はいかい)流派。一名葛飾正門。山口素堂(そどう)（1642―1716）を祖とする流派で、素堂が江戸の葛飾（東京都江東区深川）に住んだことから、このようによばれた。流派の主宰者は、素堂の別号其日庵(きじつあん)を代々継承し、1世素堂、2世長谷川馬光(ばこう)、3世溝口素丸(そまる)、4世加藤野逸(やいつ)、5世関根白芹(はくきん)、6世鹿窪(しかくぼ)南台、7世関根列山、8世馬場蓁々(しんしん)、9世馬場錦江(きんこう)、10世橋本三暁、11世竹本素琴である。素堂は隠士の風格をもち、2世馬光も余技的俳諧から出発、のち『五色墨(ごしきずみ)』の一人として名をなした。また3世素丸は雪門の蓼太(りょうた)と組み、天明(てんめい)（1781～88）初年には葛飾正門を呼号、一派の勢力を拡大させ、9世錦江は『俳諧七部集』の研究に努めた。葛飾派は1世以来学究的な人々が多く、俳諧研究に多大な貢献をなした。
