 "Kikaku Enomoto (1661-1707) is a high brother of Matsuo Basho. Born in Edo as a child of a doctor serving the Honda family of the Zensho clan, it is said that he entered Basho's gate at the age of 15. He is known not only for haikai, but also for medicine, poetry, Chinese books, calligraphy and painting. It is reported that he died here in Soan near Yakushido hall since the end of the Genroku era. Known as a sake enthusiast, there is a phrase called "Drinking out more than fifteen and today's moon", but there is also a story that Basho is warned of great sake. He is a poet who was familiar to the people of Edo for various anecdotes.
