Takebe Ayatari ( Japanese 建 部 綾 足 ; * 1719 ; † April 28, 1774 ) was a Japanese haiku poet and painter.

Life

Takebe was born into a samurai family in northern Japan. Allegedly because of an affair with his brother's wife, he had to leave his home at the age of twenty and settled in Edo as a haiku poet. He used Kasso ( 葛 鼠 ), Toin ( 都 因 ) and Ryōtai ( 涼 袋 ) as haiku pseudonyms . He conducted Kokugaku studies with Kamo no Mabuchi and studied Chinese painting in the Nanga style and its Nanpin school . He was one of the few painters to take lessons from a Chinese painter, Fei Han-yuan , in addition to Japanese masters .

Under the name Ryōtai he then published several volumes with wood prints of Chinese works and his own paintings. In addition to landscape paintings in the Chinese style, he also created numerous Haiga paintings in the Haiku aesthetic , which he simplified down to individual lines in later works. In 1768 he published the three-part novel Nishiyama monogatari ( 西山 物語 ).

One of his students was the painter Kakizaki Hakyō .
