from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ozawa Roan ( Jap. 小沢蘆庵 , Ozawa Tatewaki , Kankadō , Daigaku , Koo , Tonantei , Honjō Shichiro * 1723 in Osaka , † 1801 ) was a Japanese poet.

Life

Ozawa, who came from a samurai family, entered the service of Kuge Takatsukasa Sukehira in the mid-1750s , whom he accompanied on a trip to Edo in 1765. There he was released from his service. From 1753 he was a student of Reizei Tamemura . Twenty years later, different views on poetry led to Roan's exclusion from this school of poetry. In contrast to the classical style of the Kamo no Mabuchi school , from then on he represented the ideal of "simple words" (tadagoto uta). In 1796 he became a mentor of Kagawa Kageki , whose style he significantly influenced. He was also the teacher of Rai Baishi .
