Chohaku Ariga

Japanese: 有賀長伯 - あるが・ちょうはく

Year of death: June 29, 1737
Year of birth: 1661
A poet and scholar of poetry from the early to mid-Edo period. His pen name was Ikeisai and others. He was from Kyoto. He inherited the academic tradition of Mochizuki Nagataka and Hirama Nagamasa, and contributed to the spread of poetry studies at the Nijo family in the early Edo period. This is supported by the existence of many books on poetry studies, but Chohaku's achievement is rather in the fact that he published a series of practical books on poetry such as "Utamakura Aki no Nezame," "Shogaku Waka Shiki," and "Hama no Masago," which greatly facilitated the poetry-writing activities of beginners. These were reprinted many times throughout the Edo period and were widely used. <References> Ueno Yozo, "The Publishing Activities of Ariga Chohaku" ("Kinsei Bungei" issues 27 and 28), Kusaka Yukio, "Ariga Chohaku Nenpu-Draft" ("Gakudai Kokubun" issue 29)

江戸前期から中期の歌人,歌学者。号以敬斎ほか。京の人。望月長孝,平間長雅の学統を継承して,江戸時代前期の二条家歌学の普及に貢献した。それは多くの歌学伝書の存在で裏付けられるが,長伯の功績は,むしろ『歌枕秋の寝覚』『初学和歌式』『浜のまさご』などの実用的歌学書を次々と公刊して初心者の詠歌活動に多大の便宜を与えた点に求められる。これらは江戸時代を通じて何度も版を重ね,大いに活用された。<参考文献>上野洋三「有賀長伯の出版活動」(『近世文芸』27・28号),日下幸男「有賀長伯年譜稿」(『学大国文』29号)
