Sakuragawa Jihinari was an [[Edo period]] ''[[gesaku]]'' writer and ''[[rakugo]]'' performer.
Originally from [[Edo]], he lived in Udagawa-chô in the Shiba neighborhood of Edo, where he worked as a scabbard maker, engraver, and pottery seller, under the name Kazariya Daigorô. His birth/family name was Yao Daisuke, but he went by a variety of pseudonyms, including Shibarakutei and Oya no Jihi Nari (meaning, "the compassion/benevolence of [my] parents"). Along with [[Utei Enba]], he is credited with being one of the chief people responsible for the revival or rejuvenation of ''rakugo''. He came to associate with wealthy and high-ranking families, and other elite circles, as he was frequently invited to perform comedic storytelling, theatre, or [[tea ceremony]] for such audiences. He had several students, and within certain arts, the Sakuragawa lineage and name continues today.
Sakuragawa studied under the ''gesaku'' author [[Kishida Toho|Kishida Tohô]] (aka Sakurada Tohô), and took on the name "Sakuragawa" after Kishida's death. Over the course of his career, he authored more than thirty ''[[kibyoshi|kibyôshi]]'', beginning with ''Tenhitsu ahôraku'' in [[1788]], and more than twenty ''hanashi bon'', as well as many ''[[kyoka|kyôka]]''. A handwritten, handpainted volume entitled ''Sakuragawa Jihinari jihitsu kôhon'' (lit. "A Draft Book by the Brush of Sakuragawa Jihinari Himself") suggests he also had incredible skill at painting/drawing, poetry, and calligraphy. The book contains a painting and accompanying poem for each of the 53 stations of the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]].
