Chowa Kishimoto

Japanese: 岸本調和 - きしもと・ちょうわ

Year of death: 17th October 1715 (12th November 1715)
Year of birth: 1638 (Kan'ei 15)
A haiku poet of the early Edo period. His other pen names were Tsubohyoken and Shisai. He was born around Asakayama in Oshu, and came to Edo in the mid-Kanbun period. He moved to Shiba, Nihonbashi 1-chome, and Asakusa Yamatani. He is said to have been a master of haiku from Ogino Ansei, but he had a close relationship with Ishida Mitoku and was also a member of Naito Futora's literary salon. After the publication of "Fujiseki" in 1679 (Enpo 7), he became one of Edo's leading masters during the Enpo period. During the Jokyo and Genroku periods (1684-1704), he was overshadowed by the rise of the Sho school, but he devoted himself to katen haikai and published anthologies with pre-phrases such as "Senshu" and "Ju no yashi." He is a typical haiku poet who suggests the role of a haiku master in Edo during the Genroku period. <References> Ogino Kiyoshi, "The Life of Kishimoto Chowa" (Haiku Literature Collection)

江戸前期の俳人。別号に壺瓢軒,士斎。奥州浅香山あたりの出身で,寛文中期ごろ,江戸に出る。芝,日本橋一丁目,浅草山谷と転居。俳諧は荻野安静門と伝えられるが,石田未得との関係が深く,また内藤風虎文学サロンの一員でもあった。延宝7(1679)年『富士石』刊行以後,延宝期には江戸を代表する宗匠となる。貞享・元禄期(1684～1704)には蕉門の台頭により影が薄くなるが,加点俳諧に専心して『洗朱』『十の指』などの前句付集を刊行。元禄期の江戸における俳諧宗匠のあり方を示唆する,典型的な俳人。<参考文献>荻野清「岸本調和の一生」(『俳文学叢説』)
