Shintoku

A haiku poet from the early Edo period. His family name was Ito. His real surname was probably Yamada. He was commonly known as Sukezaemon. His other names were Rishien and Takeinuko. He was from Kyoto. He was from a wealthy merchant family and initially studied under Takase Baisei of the Teimon school, but from the beginning of the Enpo era (1673-81), he came into contact with Takamasa and Tsunenori of the Danrin school and became interested in the Danrin school. In 1677 (Enpo 5), he went down to Edo and interacted with Basho and others, publishing "Edo Sangin," and in 1681 (Tenwa 1), he published notable anthologies such as "Nanahyakugojuin," which explored a new style, thus in step with Basho and others, sparking the development of Basho-style haiku. He continued to interact with Basho and others after that, and during the Genroku period (1688-1704), he played an important role in the Kyoto haiku world along with Gonsui, Josen, Wagyū, and Gakoku, but later became estranged from the Basho school. He edited and wrote works such as "Kyo Sangin," "Haikaiitsuku no Tawagoto," "Kocho Hangan," and "Hinagata."

江戸前期の俳人。伊藤氏。本姓は山田氏か。通称助左衛門。別号梨柿園(りしえん)、竹犬子。京都の人。裕福な商家の出身で、初め貞門(ていもん)の高瀬梅盛(ばいせい)に師事したが、延宝(えんぽう)（1673～81）初年から談林(だんりん)派の高政(たかまさ)や常矩(つねのり)らに接して、談林風に傾倒。1677年（延宝5）には江戸へ下って芭蕉(ばしょう)らと交流し『江戸三吟』を刊行し、また81年（天和1）には『七百五十韻』など新風体を模索する注目すべき撰集(せんしゅう)を刊行するなど、芭蕉らと歩調をあわせて蕉風俳諧(しょうふうはいかい)胎動の契機をなした。以後も芭蕉らとの交流を続け、元禄(げんろく)期（1688～1704）には言水(ごんすい)、如泉(じょせん)、和及(わぎゅう)、我黒(がこく)らとともに京俳壇で重きをなすが、のちには蕉門との間は疎遠になった。編著『京三吟』『誹諧五(はいかいいつつ)の戯言(たわごと)』『胡蝶(こちょう)判官』『雛形(ひながた)』など。
