Zheng Xiaoxu (1860-1938), whose sobriquet was Taiyi and pseudonym, Sukan, was born in the province of Fujian in China. He stayed in Japan as a diplomat from 1891 (Guangxu 17) to 1894 (Guangxu 20). After coming back to China, he worked to remove local thieves and burglars from the Guangxi region. During his temporary retirement in Shanghai, he built Haicang Hall to keep company with calligraphers and ink painters, becoming well known as a poet. In his last years, he served the final emperor of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), Pu Yi, as Minister of State of Manchukuo. When Xiaoxu gave this Chinese poem to Nagao Uzan (1864-1942), he held the position of Consulate General in the Kobe-Osaka region.
