Sadamura - Tei

Japanese: 貞室 - ていしつ

1610‐73 (Keicho 15‐Kanbun 13)
A haiku poet of the early Edo period. His family name was Yasuhara, given name was Masaakira, and he was commonly known as Hikozaemon. His other names were Ichinoken and Fuhaishi. He was from Kyoto. He ran a paper business. His shop name was Kagiya. He studied at Teitoku's private school in 1625 (Kan'ei 2) at the age of 15, and apparently began haiku at around the age of 18. Because he was ambitious and had a strong sense of pride, he often came into conflict with other members of his school. In order to vent his anger at the criticism he received for his self-annotated 100-verse poem, Haikai no Chu (1632), in memory of his deceased mother, he published Himuromori (1646) in which he criticized Shigeyori's Kefukigusa (1645). He also anonymously published Gojo Hyakuku (1663), in which he harshly criticized his fellow students while praising himself. In a New Year's poem written in 1654 (Shoo 3), the year after Teitoku's death, he pretended to be a direct successor to Teitoku, incurring public ire.

江戸前期の俳人。姓は安原，名は正章（まさあきら），通称は彦左衛門，別号は一囊軒（いちのうけん），腐誹子（ふはいし）。京都の人。紙商を営む。屋号は鎰屋（かぎや）。1625年(寛永2)15歳で貞徳の私塾に学び，18歳のころ俳諧を始めたらしい。野心的で自負心が強かったため，同門の諸家と争うことが多く，亡母追善の自注百韻《俳諧之註》(1632)を批判された腹癒せに，《氷室守（ひむろもり）》(1646)を出して重頼の《毛吹草（けふきぐさ）》(1645)を難じたり，《五条百句》(1663)を匿名で出版，同門の諸家を酷評し自己を賞揚したり，貞徳の没した翌54年(承応3)の歳旦吟で，貞徳直系の後継者を装って人びとの顰蹙（ひんしゆく）を買ったりした。
