Abstract:
Since a lot of things are unclear about the life of MIWA TOsaku, the author of “Shiraku bunkenroku”. We collected, organized, and analyzed materials about him from various texts, such as “Shiraku bunkenroku”, “Kushimitama”, “Nihon ihu”, “Zoku shoka jimbutsushi”, “Kokon bokuseki kantei benran”, “Ika sentetsu shOzOshu”. As a result, We discovered the following. His father's name was UEDA Sado.
Miwa's name was Tosaku. His “azana” was BOkei, and his “go” was Sensban. He also called himself Omiwa Masaaki or Miwadan. He was born in Kyoto in 1747. Having also lived in ChOshi, he practiced medicine in Asakusa. He had at least one son, Omiwa Yoshiaki. The year of Miwa's death is not clear, but he lived at least until 1819.
