Katō Chikage
Katō Chikage ( Japanese 加藤 千 蔭 , also Tachibana Chikage ( 橘 千 蔭 ); * March 3, 1735 , † October 21, 1808 ) was a Japanese literary scholar and poet.
The son of the poet Katō Enao was first taught by his father and was then a student of his friend Kamo no Mabuchi . After his death he became head of the Kokugaku School in Edo. A collection of his Waka poems appeared in 1802 under the title Ukeragahana ( う け ら が 花 ). He also worked as a calligrapher. Until 1788 he held like his father before, the post of Yoriki in the city administration ( Machi Bugyō ) of Edo .
His main works, however, were commentaries on works of Japanese literature such as the Man'yōshū , Genji Monogatari and Ise Monogatari . He also made manuscript copies of the Genji Monogatari and Utsuho Monogatari ( 宇 津 保 物語 ).
