*''Born: [[1629]]''
*''Died: [[1706]]''
Toda Mosui was a prominent ''[[tanka]]'' poet and literary critic of the [[Genroku period]].
The sixth son of Watanabe Kenmotsu Tadashi, a [[Tokugawa clan|Tokugawa]] retainer based at [[Sunpu castle]], he took on the name Toda when adopted by his uncle, Toda Masatsugu, following his father's death. Toda would later take on a variety of other names, including his birth name Hyô, adult names Yasumitsu and Moemon, and [[art-name]]s Mosui and Rokanken.
Mosui served the lord of [[Okazaki han]] for a time, and later took the tonsure and became a Buddhist priest, living in the area near [[Senso-ji|Sensô-ji]] in the [[Asakusa]] neighborhood of [[Edo]].
Mosui's works included ''Murasaki no hitomoto'', ''Wakaba'', and ''Nashimoto-shû''.
He died in [[1706]], and was buried at Sensô-ji.
