Shigeyori

A haiku poet of the early Edo period. Matsue clan. Commonly known as Ooyajiemon. Also known by other names Ishu. One of the Seven Immortal Haiku Poets of the Teimon school. He was said to have been a wealthy townsman who sold senji (a type of silk fabric) in Kyoto. As a boy, he learned renga (linked verse) from Shotaku, and met Soin (later the leader of the Danrin school). From the age of 20, he held a number of haiku events with people led by Teitoku, and in 1633 (Kan'ei 10), he published the first modern haiku anthology, Enokoshu. At this time, he had a conflict with co-editor Chikashige, and left Teitoku's school to become independent. He subsequently published many edited works, including the etiquette book "Kefukigusa," famous as a collection of proverbs, and "Sayo no Nakayamashu," in which Basho first appeared under the pen name Sobo. His writing style favored parodies of classics such as waka, stories, and Noh plays, and he also sought to improve and expand haiku terminology, contributing to the popularization and innovation of haiku. He spent his life engaged in debates, but produced such excellent disciples as Onitsura and Gonsui, and died on June 29, 8th year of Enpo. He was 79 years old.

江戸前期の俳人。松江氏。俗称大文字屋治右衛門。別号維舟(いしゅう)ほか。貞門(ていもん)七俳仙の一人。京都の撰糸(せんじ)（絹織物の一種）売(うり)を業とする富裕な町人であったという。少年のころ昌琢(しょうたく)に連歌を学び、宗因(そういん)（後の談林(だんりん)派の総帥）と相知る。20歳のころから貞徳(ていとく)を中心とする人々と俳席を重ね、1633年（寛永10）には近世最初の俳諧撰集(はいかいせんしゅう)『犬子集(えのこしゅう)』を刊行。このとき、共編者親重(ちかしげ)と衝突、貞徳の門を去って独立した。以後、俚諺(りげん)収集書としても著名な作法書『毛吹草(けふきぐさ)』や、芭蕉(ばしょう)が宗房(そうぼう)の号で初めて登場する『佐夜中山(さよのなかやま)集』ほか多くの編著を刊行した。作風は和歌、物語、謡曲など古典のパロディーを好み、ほかに俳諧用語の整備と拡充を図り、俳諧の普及と革新に功があった。生涯を論争に送ったが、鬼貫(おにつら)、言水(ごんすい)らの優れた門人を輩出、延宝(えんぽう)8年6月29日没。享年79。
