 Matsuo Basho lived in the winter of 1680, connecting hermitages to Fukagawa, which was still in the suburbs, but it is believed that he lived around Nihonbashi until he moved to the later hermitage called Basho-an. It seems that it is a common theory that he was in Odawara-cho from around 1677 (Yonho 5). We have already introduced this, but we have confirmed this land again.

 According to the recently deciphered ancient document, Basho's address at that time was "Odawaramachi Taro Ozawabei", Odawaramachi was now 1-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi, and at that time it was a busy place near the fish market.

Near the opposite side of Chuo-dori from Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, there is a stone monument of "Hakuya Matsuo Momo Aojuku Spring" which is thought to have been written around this time at the storefront of Tsukudani's long-established store in Muromachi Koji.

 Then, from this current Muromachi 1-chome, walk further along Chuo-dori toward Shin-Nipponbashi on the JR Sobu Line, Muromachi 4-chome, "Kokumachi Bell Bell Tower Ruins" (published in October 2017, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" page 36) There is a place of residence of "Night Hantei-Buon Yosa Ita".

 Kabumura was born 22 years after Basho died in 1716 (Kyoho 1st year) in Mamura, Higashinari-gun, Settsu-gun (currently Osaka City), but descended to Edo in 1735 (Kyoho 20). Two years later, he lived in Hajinano, a haiku poet with the name of Night Hantei at the age of 22. However, six years later, the teacher died, and the night half-tei was dissolved. Kabumura abandoned Edo and traveled around Tohoku, Kyo-Osaka, Kyushu, Shikoku, etc., and Kabumura never returned to Edo again. It is said that he abandoned the popular Edo haiku altar and entered a wandering life. Kabumura succeeded the second generation night half-tei in 1770 (Meiwa 7), 27 years after the death of the teacher. It was named in Kyoto.
