Ando Tono - Ando Toya

A Confucian scholar and Chinese poet of the mid-Edo period. His given name was Kanto, his pen name was Toukabe, his pen name was Higashino, and he was commonly known as Niemon. He was born in Nasu, Shimotsuke Province (Tochigi Prefecture) as the son of Onuma Gensa, a physician of the Kurobane Domain. He was adopted by the Ando clan at a young age and moved to Edo. He first studied under Nakano Kiken (1667-1720), and later became a disciple of Ogyu Sorai, becoming a Confucian scholar. He served the Lord of Kofu, Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, but resigned from his position due to illness in 1711 (Shotoku 1) at the age of 29. Along with Yamagata Shunan, Tono was one of Sorai's earliest disciples, and it is said that the popularity of Kobunji (classical Japanese writing) advocated by Sorai was largely due to the efforts of Tono and Shunan. He died on April 13, 4th year of the Kyoho era, at the age of 37. As he was poor and had no children, he was buried at Fukujuin Temple in Asakusa by his friends. Thirty years after his death, "Tono Ikou" (1749) was published.

江戸中期の儒者、漢詩人。名は煥図(かんと)、字(あざな)は東壁、号は東野、通称を仁右衛門。黒羽藩の藩医大沼玄佐の子として下野(しもつけ)国（栃木県）那須(なす)に生まれる。幼くして安藤氏の養子となり江戸に移る。初め中野撝謙(なかのきけん)（1667―1720）に学び、のち荻生徂徠(おぎゅうそらい)に入門し、儒者となった。甲府侯柳沢吉保(よしやす)に仕えたが、1711年（正徳1）29歳で病のため辞職した。山県周南(やまがたしゅうなん)とともに徂徠の最初期の門人で、徂徠の提唱した古文辞(こぶんじ)が流行したのは、東野と周南の活躍によるところが大きいといわれる。享保(きょうほう)4年4月13日没。享年37。貧しく子もなかったので、友人によって浅草の福寿院に葬られた。没後30年、『東野遺稿』（1749）が刊行された。
