Ryuho

A haiku poet of the early Edo period. Nonoguchi. His given name was Chikashige. He was also known as Shoemon. His other names were Shoo, Shosai, and Nyosen. He was from Kyoto. He was called Hinaya due to his family business, and was also called Beniya. He was an elder of the Teimon school, but he had a dispute with his fellow student Shigeyori over the editing of "Enokoshu" (1633), and left his master. He established his own elegant haiku style after that. He moved from Kyoto to Edo, Fukuyama, Osaka, and other places, and trained many disciples, returning to Kyoto in his later years. He studied renga and waka poetry from an early age, and was well versed in the classics, writing "Jujo Genji" and "Osanana Genji," which are summaries of "The Tale of Genji." He was also skilled in painting, and his light and witty brushwork has earned him the title of the father of haiku painting. His anthologies include "Haikaihokucho" and "Komachi Odori," his etiquette and haiku treatises include "Hanahigusa" and "Kawabune Tsutoku Banzai," and his haiku collection is "Soratsubute."

江戸前期の俳人。野々口氏。名親重(ちかしげ)。通称庄右衛門。別号松翁、松斎、如入斎。京の人。家業により雛屋(ひなや)と称し、別に紅屋ともいった。貞門(ていもん)の古老的存在であったが、『犬子集(えのこしゅう)』（1633）編集の件で同門の重頼(しげより)と争い、師のもとを去り、以後独自で優雅な俳風を確立。京より江戸、福山、大坂などに移り住み、多くの門人を育て、晩年はまた京に戻った。早くより連歌や和歌を学び、古典にも精通して『源氏物語』の梗概(こうがい)書『十帖(じゅうじょう)源氏』『おさな源氏』の著もある。絵画にも優れ、その軽妙な筆致は俳画の祖と称されている。撰集(せんしゅう)に『誹諧発句(はいかいほっく)帳』『小町踊』、作法・俳論書に『はなひ草』『河船(かわぶね)付徳万歳』、句集に『そらつぶて』がある。
