A poet who carved out his own path, unaffiliated with any literary movement or faction. He's best known for his collections Poems of the Goat and Songs of Bygone Days, which showcase his distinctive voice in early modern Japanese poetry.
Beyond his work, he was known for a rougher side—he enjoyed sake and had a reputation for getting into fights. His life was short but intense, and fans of his era often note that his personality matched the raw energy that comes through in his verse. He died in 1937 at just 30 years old.
