Deep-horned

Japanese: 不角 - ふかく

1662‐1753 (Kanbun 2‐Hōreki 3)
A haiku poet and comic writer of the mid-Edo period. Mr. Tateba. Alternative names were Shogetsudo and Sen'o. He worked at a bookshop and was known as Okamura Futokumon. He shaved his head and was promoted to Hokyo and then Hokan (1730). He published Tsukinami Zenku Tsukakutenshu from 1690 (Genroku 3), and Tsukinami Hatsu Kushu from 1693. He was called "Kecho-fu" (transformed bird style) because he added vulgar meaning to classical expressions, and along with the Sharaku-fu and Metaphoric-fu, he contributed to the establishment of Edo tastes, but he was isolated in the haiku world and created a different world for himself, centering around the group of country samurai who were on duty at Edo. "Today's moon-waka shu have abandoned the mountains, oh my" (Ashibunsen).

江戸中期の俳人で戯作者。立羽氏。別号松月堂，千翁。書肆を業とし，岡村不卜門。剃髪し，法橋さらに法眼(1730)に昇進した。1690年(元禄3)から月並前句付高点集，93年から月並発句集を続刊。古典的表現に俗意を盛ったので〈化鳥（けちよう）風〉と呼ばれ，洒落風，比喩体とともに江戸趣味の成立にあずかったが，俳壇的には孤立し，参勤の田舎武士集団を中心に別天地を形成した。〈けふの月わか衆捨たる山も哉〉(《蘆分船》)。
