Year of death: 13 September 1688 (6 October 1688)
Year of birth: 1626
A kyoka poet from the Edo period. His given name was Takao, and his pen name was Shikan. His pen names included Kakukado, Gyokuun'o, Gyuan, and Kyurei. He was a priest at Toyozobo, a shrine and temple at Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Yamashiro Province (Kyoto Prefecture). He learned calligraphy from Shokado Shojo of the Iwashimizu Hachiman Honbo, elegance from Kobori Enshu (Masaichi), and haiku from Matsunaga Teitoku. He also wrote kyoka in exchanges with nobles such as Masatoyo Masami and Michishige Nakain. 24 of his kyoka are collected in the Kokini Kyukushu, and they can be found scattered in various books from this period, and two volumes of the Kyoka Kyūjōshū are published as public anthologies. Perhaps for business, he frequently traveled to Edo, and many of his works were written along the Tokaido road, including the 41-poem series "Fuji Kyoei." He was a bridge between the hobbyist kyoka of the early educated and professional kyoka, and his disciples included Edo samurai Kuroda Gettoken and Osaka poet Yuensai Teiryu.
