Kamo no Mabuchi
Kamo no Mabuchi ( Japanese 賀 茂 真 淵 ; * April 24, 1697 ; † November 27, 1769 ) was a Japanese Waka poet and philologist (text researcher).
Kamo was 1733-1736 student of Kada no Azumamaro and then was in the service Tayasu Munetakis , the son of the Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune . Like his teacher Kada no Azumamaro, he is counted among the founders of the literary and philosophical school of Kokugaku (national studies).
In addition to several treatises on Kokugaku ( Bun'ikō , 1762; Kaikō , 1764; Kokuikō , 1765; Shoikō , 1766; Goikō , 1769) he wrote studies on Man'yōshū ( Man'yōkō , around 1765) and other works of literary history ( Kanjikō , 1757; Genji monogatari shinshaku , 1758; Nimanabi , 1765). He pleaded for a return to the poetry style of Man'yōshū and tried to revive the Chōka style within the Waka poetry. His most famous student was Motoori Norinaga .
