Author: Sugita Hisajo (1890 - 1946)

Sugita Hisajo (1890 - 1946). http://www.big.or.jp/~loupe/links/ehisto/ehisajo.shtml Hisajo, suffering from insanity in her later years, died without being accepted in the haiku world. Shuoshi Mizuhara (1892 ~ 1981) introduced a new method similiar to hers, in order to create a tension in a haiku; we can thus regard Hisajo's works as one of the sources of the contemporary haiku.
