Yanagawa Seigan (1789-1858), whose given name was Môi, was a Chinese-style poet of the late Edo period (1615-1868). A royalist, Seigan was a native of Minô (present-day Gifu Prefecture) who went to Edo (present-day Tokyo) and studied under Koga Seiri (1750-1817) and Yamamoto Hokuzan (1752-1812). Later, he moved to Kyoto and participated in affairs of state together with Umeda Unbin (1815-59) and Yokoi Shônan (1809-69). For the distinctively refined and sophisticated atmosphere of his poetry, Seigan was acclaimed as Japan's Li Bo (701-62). He died of illness in 1858 (Ansei 5) at the age of 70, just before the incident of political suppression against the royalists known as Ansei no taigoku.
