Iio Sogior Sogi(born 1421, Japan—died Sept. 1, 1502, Hakone) Japanese poet. Sogi was a Zen monk in Kyoto before becoming, in his 30s, a professional renga (linked-verse) poet. He is considered the greatest master of renga because of two sequences, Minase sangin (1488; “Three Poets at Minase”) and Yuyama sangin (1491; “Three Poets at Yuyama”), in each of which poets led by Sogi took turns at composing short stanzas (links) to form a single poem with many shifts of mood and direction. The foremost poet of his age, he left more than 90 works, including anthologies, diaries, poetic criticism, and manuals. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
