Teijo Nakamura

Teijo Nakamura was the pen name of Japanese haiku poet Hamako Saitō. She was a prolific poet and one of the founding leaders of the women's haiku circle at Hototogisu, and is credited with championing women's inclusion in the world of haiku. Alongside three of the other members of her literary circle, Teijo's work is considered to typify women's haiku of the Showa period.
