Nakamura Kenkichi

Former residence of Kenkichi Nakamura in Onomichi

Nakamura Kenkichi ( Japanese 中 村 憲 吉 ; born January 25, 1889 in Miyoshi , Hiroshima Prefecture ; † May 5, 1934 ) was a Japanese tanka poet.

Nakamura was a student of Itō Sachio , with whom he founded the Tanka journal Araragi . He has published several volumes of poetry, including Rinsen shū (1916), Keira shū (1931) and Keira shū igo (1934).

The Onomichi Literature Museum ( お の み ち 文学 の 館 , Onomichi bungaku no kan ) is now located in one of his former residences in the city of Onomichi . The house was also used by Shiga Naoya as a residence, which is why these two writers are particularly remembered here.
