Shado - Shado

Japanese: 洒堂 - しゃどう

Around 1668 - 1737 (around Kanbun 8 - Genbun 2)
A haiku poet of the early Edo period. His first pen name was Chinse (Chin'yū). His surname was Hamada, also known as Takamiya. He was commonly known as Jisuke. He was from Zeze, Omi. He worked as a doctor. He may have become Basho's pupil in the winter of 1689 (Genroku 2). The following year he composed Hisago, the fourth collection of the Seven Collections of Haikai Poems, and Basho was highly impressed with his talent. In September 1692 he travelled east, staying at Basho-an until the end of January the following year, before moving to Osaka in the summer. He developed a rift with Shido, a student of the Osaka school of Sho, and encouraged Basho to come to Osaka. He was criticised by fellow haiku poets for having been disloyal at the time of Basho's death, and in the winter of 1697 he returned to Zeze, but was little active in the haiku world thereafter.

1668ころ‐1737(寛文8ころ‐元文2)
江戸前期の俳人。初号は珍碩(珍夕)。姓は浜田，また高宮。通称は治助。近江膳所（ぜぜ）の人。医を業とした。1689年(元禄2)冬に芭蕉入門か。翌年《俳諧七部集》の第4集《ひさご》を撰し，芭蕉にその才能を高くかわれた。92年9月に東下し，翌年1月末まで芭蕉庵に滞在，夏に大坂移住。大坂蕉門の之道（しどう）と不和を生じ，芭蕉の来坂を促した。芭蕉臨終の際に不義理があったとして同門の俳人から非難を受け，97年冬膳所に帰住したが，以後，俳壇的活躍は乏しい。
