Year of death: 16 September 1847 (24 October 1847)
Year of birth: 28 August 1777 (29 September 1777)
A scholar of Japanese classics in the late Edo period. He was the third son of Tanaka Yabei Hiromichi, a drug merchant from Takayama, Hida Province (Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture), and his wife Tomiko. He was commonly known as Yajiro or Yabei. His name was originally Kibun, later Taishu, Hachigatsu Mitsuru, and his pen names were Chikusa-en, Yutsu Koboku-en, and Eno-o. In 1797 (Kansei 9), at the age of 21, he studied waka and Japanese classics under Awata Tomochika, a shrine official at Atsuta Shrine in Owari. In 1801 (Kansei 1), he accompanied Tomochika to Tokyo and participated in the poetry gatherings of the Reizei family. In the same year, he became a student of Ban Kokei, and in 1801 (Kyowa 1), he visited Motoori Ohira in Ise, where he met Motoori Norinaga, who was in Tokyo, and became his student (April 13). In 1804, he went to Matsusaka and spent two months copying Norinaga's posthumous writings, showing his devotion to Norinaga's studies. He excelled in research into medieval literature, and his "Taketori Okina Monogatari Kai" (1831) is an extremely important work in the history of commentaries on the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. He also determined that the location of "Inakimori" was Enami Shrine in Hida Province, and launched a movement to revive the shrine, using this as a base to work toward the development of Hida classical Japanese studies. His disciples included Adachi Inanao and Tachibana Akebono. <References> "Tanaka Daishu," edited by the Matsumuro Society; "Research into Classical Studies at the End of the Tokugawa Period," by Haga Noboru
