与謝蕪村
Kobayashi Issa (1763–1828), one of the four great haiku masters of Japan, along with Matsuo Bashō, Yosa Buson and Masaoka Shiki, described the last days of his father in his diary, beginning when his father suddenly developed fever and became seriously ill and continuing until a week after his demise. The weakening father and conflicts between his step-mother, his brother-in-law and him were vividly described in a factual manner. However, the diary was intended for publication, and thus had some embellishments. The title given by Tsukasue Tsuyuka, , became the established title.
