Nakanoin Michikatsu - Nakanoin Michikatsu

Japanese: 中院通勝 - なかのいんみちかつ
Nakanoin Michikatsu - Nakanoin Michikatsu

A poet and classical scholar from the Azuchi-Momoyama period. His childhood name was Matsuyashamaro. In 1586 (Tensho 14), he shaved his head and adopted the name Yasokuken. His father was Michitame, his great-grandfather was Michihide, a poet from the Bunmei period (1469-1487), and his maternal grandfather was Sanjonishikineda, a classical scholar. In 1580, he was punished by imperial pardon from Emperor Ogimachi and fled to Tango (Kyoto Prefecture), where he remained for 19 years until he was pardoned and returned to Kyoto. At that time, he struck up a friendship with Hosokawa Yuusai, who had entered Tango Tanabe Castle, and received instruction from him in the Kokin Denju (an ancient text), and, having long expressed a desire to compile various commentaries on the Tale of Genji, Michikatsu worked hard for over ten years and completed the enormous 55-volume Min'e Nisso (A Journey to Min'e Nisso) in 1698 (Keicho 3). After returning to Kyoto, he was welcomed into the poetry world, and in addition to composing many poems such as the Michikatsu Collection, he also wrote linked verse and studied the classics.

安土(あづち)桃山時代の歌人、古典学者。幼名は松夜叉麿。1586年(天正14)に剃髪(ていはつ)して素然とし、也足軒(やそくけん)と号した。父は通為(みちため)、曽祖父(そうそふ)に文明(ぶんめい)期(1469~87)の歌人通秀(みちひで)、外祖父に古典学者三条西公条(さんじょうにしきんえだ)がいる。80年に正親町(おおぎまち)天皇の勅勘を被って丹後(たんご)(京都府)に出奔し、以後許されて帰京するまでの19年間その地にとどまる。おりしも丹後田辺(たなべ)城に入った細川幽斎(ゆうさい)と親交を結び、古今伝授(こきんでんじゅ)を受けるとともに、かねて『源氏物語』の諸注を集成したいとの意を受けて、通勝は10年余りの苦節のすえ、98年(慶長3)に膨大な量の『岷江入楚(みんごうにっそ)』55帖(じょう)を完成させる。帰京後は歌壇に迎えられ、『通勝集』など多数の歌作のほか、連歌(れんが)・古典研究がある。
