Kanagaki Robun was a journalist and fiction writer of the [[Bakumatsu]] and early [[Meiji period]]s.
He was born near [[Kyobashi|Kyôbashi]] in [[Edo]] in [[1829]]. He engaged for many years in commercial business, but also produced numerous works of fiction. His first major work was ''Kokkei Fuji môde'', published in [[1860]]. In the Meiji period, he turned to writing works incorporating, or satirizing, aspects of Westernization; among his early Meiji works were ''Seiyô dôchû hizakurige'' (a "Western" version of [[Jippensha Ikku|Jippensha Ikku's]] ''[[Tokaido dochu hizakurige|Tôkaidô dôchû hizakurige]]'') and ''Agura nabe'' ("Sitting Crosslegged Pot").
With the rise of [[newspapers]], Kanagaki began writing for papers including the ''Yokohama Mainichi Shinbun'', ''Kana-yomi Shinbun''.
His fame or popularity as an author began in earnest in [[1879]] with the publication of his ''Takahashi oden yasha monogatari''.
Kanagaki died in November [[1894]], at the age of 66, and was buried at Eikyû-ji in the Yanaka neighborhood of [[Tokyo]].
