Kagawa Kageki
Kagawa Kageki ( Japanese 香 川 景 樹 ; * May 25, 1768 in the Tottori fiefdom (now Tottori Prefecture ); † April 26, 1843 ) was a Japanese tanka poet. His poet names were among other things Keien ( 桂園 , " cake tree garden") and Tōutei ( 東 塢 亭 ).
Kagawa was the second son of the samurai Arai Kosanji ( 荒 井 小 三次 ). At the age of 25 he went to Kyoto and became a student of Kagawa Kagetomo , whose family adopted him. In 1796 he met Ozawa Roan , whose ideal of "simple words" (tadagoto uta) had a decisive influence on him and put him in opposition to the poetics of poets like Kamo no Mabuchi . Kagawa was the founder of the Keien-ha ( 桂園 派 ) poetry school named after his pseudonym .
