[Machine Translation] Born in Kaminoyama City, Yamagata Prefecture in Michinoku, Saito Shigekichi became a master modern poet while his family was pursuing his dream of becoming a doctor. His complete works as a poet, including tanka poems, poetry criticism, research, and essays, are in fifty-six volumes, and he was awarded the Order of Cultural Merit for his brilliance. Inheriting Shiki's theory of sketching from the Negishi school, he developed it into a theory of poetry with a realistic view of reality, and left his own unique mark on classical studies, mainly on the Manyoshu (Anthology of Myriad Leaves). His style of poetry, which began with "Akamitsu," established the true meaning of modernity and resulted in a vast body of works. It is no exaggeration to say that the emergence of the arabesque period in the Taisho era was due to Mokichi's poetry theory and actual works. He was a great poet who combined the local and the universal, the classical and the modern. This is what makes Mokichi so appealing. The achievements Mokichi left behind in the history of modern literature are truly vast.
