The late Edo Period haiku and waka poet, novelist and Japanese-language scholar Ueda Akinari (1734-1809) was born in Sonezaki, Osaka. He was adopted by the Shimas – a family of paper and oil traders. Akinari started haiku writing at a young age and was deeply drawn to classic Chinese and Japanese literature. He went on to study under the Japanology scholars Takebe Ayatari (1719-1774) and Kato Umaki (1721-1777), both disciples of the famous scholar Kamono Mabuchi (1697-1769). Akinari wrote an innovative mystery-thriller (kaidan), Tales of the Moonlight and Rain (Jp. Ugetsu Monogatari), when he was 35. This novel still enjoys wide acclaim as a new genre of literature. After Akinari turned 50, he attracted wide attention by engaging in hot debates over Japanese literature and linguistics with the famous Japanologist Motoori Norinaga (1730-1801). The exhibit shows interesting patterns imprinted by pressing dyed plant leaves onto paper, on which Akinari wrote a poem in a strange scrawl.

Quail: Quail hunting ended at the palace grounds yesterday. Some lucky ones are singing in their underbrush hideouts.
