Nampo was like his father official of the shogunate and had appointments in Osaka, Nagasaki and Edo. Although an influential writer, he never belonged to the literary scene in Japan. In 1777 he debuted with the Kanshi Collection Neboke Sensei Bunshū ( Doctor Sleep Mützes poems), in which already shows his gift for comic poems. Encouraged by Karagoromo kisshu 1779 he published the collection Ameuri Dohei ga Den, with which he provoked a wave of Kyoshi - seal in Japan. He finally established himself as a poet with the band Manzei Kyōkashū ( thousand generations Kyoka ). Been known, however, are rather two late works Nampos, the poetry collection Shokusan Hyakushū (1818 ) and the prose collection Ichiwa Ichigen (1820 ).
