Taneda Santoka (1882-1940) is a free style haikuist, which means he shed th e various rules governing traditional or mainstream haiku composition. He i s from Houfu in Yamaguchi Prefecture and is also connected with Matsuyama o n the island of Shikoku, which is where he died. Santoka spent much of his adult life living in humble cottages or wandering the land as a mendicant Z en priest, composing haiku poems through each, as each, instance. Matsuyama is where he settled in a cottage he called Isso-an (A Blade of Grass Hermi tage), dying there not long after. Scott Watson's versions seek to produce the sense that Santoka intended but not word for word translation.
