Mukai Kyorai (向井 去来, 1651 – 8 October 1704) was a Japanese haikai poet, and a close disciple of Matsuo Bashō.

Family and character

A physician's son, Kyorai was born in Nagasaki to a samurai family.[1] Fond of the martial arts, he was after his death described as having "a soft part and a hard part at the same time".[2]

His wife Kana-jo and sister Chine-jo were also notable haiku writers.[3]

As poet

Kyorai connected with Bashō in the 1680s, at the time when the latter was developing his theories of Sabi, by which Kyorai was strongly influenced.[4]

In 1691 he was one of the compilers, together with Nozawa Bonchō, of the Sarumino (Monkey's Straw Raincoat) Bashō-school collection. After Bashō's death he produced Kyoraishō, a rich source for the ideas of, and anecdotes about, his master.[5]
