Copper vein - Domyaku

Japanese: 銅脈 - どうみゃく

Year of death: 1801.7.12
Year of birth: 1752
A writer of rhapsody in the mid-to-late Edo period. The Hatanaka clan. His given name was Masayoshi, his pen name was Shigen, his common names were Masagoro and Tanomo, his pen name was Kansai, and his rhapsodies included Domyaku Sensei, Taiheikan Shujin, and Katakuchi Dojin. He was born as the son of Tsuzuki Shinsuke in Sanuki Province (Kagawa Prefecture) and was adopted by Hatanaka Masafuyu, who served the Shogoin Imperial Family in Kyoto. He studied Confucianism under Nabarodo, but after publishing Taiheirakufu in 1769, he was known as the Edo rhapsodic teacher (Ota Nanpo) and as a writer of rhapsodic poetry. Other collections of rhapsodic poetry include Seta Karaha Poetry, Fukiyose Mokyu, and a collection of competitive poems with Domyaku called Nidaikafuga. His style is described as Domyaku's satire compared to Domyaku's humor. In addition to his rhapsody, his talent for satire was also displayed in humorous works such as "Hari no Kuyo", "Taiheiraku Kokuji Kai", and "Fuzoku Sansekishi". However, he was not simply a man of satire and humor; in his later years he studied the classics of Japanese studies with Shibano Kuriyama, and engaged in research on imperial tombs with Gamo Kimihira and others. <References> Mori Senzo, "Domyaku Sensei" ("Mori Senzo Collected Works", Vol. 2), Nakamura Yukihiko, "Satirical Domyaku Sensei" ("Nakamura Yukihiko Collected Works", Vol. 6)

江戸中・後期の狂詩作者。畠中氏。名は正盈,字は子允,通称は政五郎,頼母,号は観斎,狂号は銅脈先生,太平館主人,片屈道人など。讃岐国(香川県)の都築新助の子として生まれ,京都の聖護院宮家に仕える畠中正冬の養子となった。那波魯堂に儒を学んだが,明和6(1769)年に『太平楽府』を出版して以来,江戸の寐惚先生(大田南畝)と併称され,狂詩作者として知られた。狂詩集にはこのほか『勢多唐巴詩』『吹寄蒙求』,寐惚との競詠集『二大家風雅』などがあり,その作風は寐惚の滑稽に対し,銅脈の諷刺と評される。狂詩以外にその諷刺の才能は,『針の供養』『太平楽国字解』『風俗三石士』などのような滑稽本にも発揮されている。しかし,単なる諷刺,滑稽の人ではなく,晩年には柴野栗山と和学の古典を考究し,蒲生君平らと陵墓の調査研究に従事するという一面もあった。<参考文献>森銑三「銅脈先生」(『森銑三著作集』2巻),中村幸彦「諷刺家銅脈先生」(『中村幸彦著述集』6巻)
