Yosa Buson
Taiga would continue to travel and to climb mountains for much of the rest of his life, often accompanied by "bunjin" colleagues. For a time, he took on the "gō" of Sangaku Dōja (三岳道者, "Pilgrim of the Three Peaks"). He would often collaborate with his colleagues on joint works of art during this trips; the "Jūben jūgi-jō" ("Album of Ten Conveniences and Ten Pleasures") was created in 1771, as the result of one of these collaborations. The "Jūben jūgi-jō", illustrated by Taiga and Yosa Buson, and containing text by Chinese writer Li Yu (1611-c.1680), acclaims and celebrates a life of simple pleasures and communing with nature. The book is widely regarded today as providing an exemplary insight into the "bunjin" philosophy.
