was a Japanese haiku poet active in Showa period Japan. ==Early life== Matsumoto was born in the Kanda district of Tokyo into a family of Noh theater players of the Hosho school. His stage debut was at the age of eight. From the earliest age, he was devoted to honing his skills as a Noh actor. He also had a strong interest in classical Chinese literature, Japanese calligraphy and the English language, and was also fond of popular theater and ''rakugo'' comic storytelling. While recovering from an illness in 1921, he came across the haiku literary magazine ''Hototogisu''. Later, he joined ''Shippo-kai'', a haiku circle predominately for Noh actors and began to study haiku under the famed poet Takahama Kyoshi. At around the age of 20, Matsumoto abandoned the idea of becoming a Noh actor because of his ongoing health problems and turned to composing haiku professionally. After spending the summer of 1925 recuperating from illness in Kamakura, Matsumoto moved there the following year and made it his until 1945. He composed many verses about Kamakura during that period. In 1929, he joined the ''Hototogisu'' group, where he was acknowledged to be an equal of the much acclaimed Kawabata Bosha. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Takashi Matsumoto (poet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
