Lot Essay

The Rokkasen, (Ono no Komachi, Sojo Henjo, Ariwara Narihira, Bunya Yasuhide, Kisen Hoshi and Otomo Yakamochi) were the poets from Kokinwakashu. Kasen were those who excelled in waka.

Yoshiteru was born in Kyoto and studied under Araki Tomei and later on with Goto Kobun. He was adopted by the Sato family and employed by the Fushimi no Miya clan and permitted to wear swords. After the Meiji Restoration, he worked for the Osaka Mint and wrote poetry as a
pastime.
