Zoku Sanzenri (Haiku travelogue) by Kawahigashi Hekigoto

The leading disciple of Masaoka Shiki, Kawahigashi Hekigoto visited Saikoji Temple in Wada in 1897. The haiku-loving head priest was greatly impressed by Hekigoto, and switched to writing Shiki-style haiku, even being inspired to start the Etsuyukai poetry society. "Zoku Sanzenri" contains references to Hekigoto's return visit to Saikoji Temple.
