History: Gyokusō Hirose (広瀬旭荘, June 22, 1807 – September 29, 1863) was a Confucian scholar and Chinese poet in the late Edo period of Japan. Biography: His common name was Kenkichi, his given name was Ken, his courtesy name was Kippu, and he went by the pen names Shūson (initially), Gyokusō, and later Baiton. He was born as the eighth son of Saburōemon Hirose (Tōshū), a merchant from Hakata-ya in Mameda-machi, Hita District, Bungo Province (present-day Hita City, Ōita Prefecture). He was the youngest among his siblings, which included his notable older brothers Hirose Tansō and Hirose Kyūbei (an ancestor of Katsusada Hirose, a governor of Ōita Prefecture). His son was Hirose Ringai. Gyokusō was known for his extraordinary memory, earning the nickname "walking dictionary" from his teacher, Kamei Shōyō. He enjoyed socializing and traveled extensively throughout Japan. He also interacted with loyalist activists and hosted many scholars, including Rangaku (Dutch studies) scholars, in his home. Literary Contributions Gyokusō excelled in poetry and emphasized individuality in his instruction, rather than strict adherence to rigid norms. Unlike his brother Tansō, who wrote simple and clear poetry, Gyokusō’s works were characterized by intense emotional expression and vibrant creativity. His poetry was highly regarded, with Saitō Shōdō describing his style as: "His compositions spring forth like fountains and surge like tides. His phrasing rolls like balls down a slope or horses galloping downhill. They dance like clouds and swirl like leaves caught in the wind." In addition, Yu Kyokuen, a late Qing dynasty Confucian scholar, praised Gyokusō as "the crown of poets from the eastern lands."
