[Machine Translation] Kyoshi Takahama ( 1874 -1959 ), who succeeded Shiki Masaoka and laid the foundation of modern haiku, left two autobiographies. The Jingkakido edition tells the story of his youth. The Asahi Shimbun edition describes his friendship with Shiki, Soseki, and others, his Noh plays, his hometown, and his feelings in his later years. The two were combined into one volume. The narrative style of his writing, honed in "Shashibun," conveys the true face of a master of haiku.
