Manko (poet)
Manko (万乎?, ? - August 15, 1724) was a Japanese haikai poet of the middle Edo period. He was a wealthy merchant in Ueno, Iga Province, now known as Mie.[1] He is best known for his relationship with Matsuo Bashō and for his poetry.[2]
On April 3, 1691, Manko met Bashō and led him to his residence, where the former became a pupil. In total, some sixty of his verses were published.[1] His main contributions can be found in Sarumino (1691), Sumidawara (1694), and Zoku-sarumino (1698).[2]
