The Naito Meisetsu Haiku Monument (Path of Haiku) stands on the Dogo-Kitamachi side of the "Path of Haiku", the street that runs along the east side of the Ehime Prefectural Culture Hall. It is inscribed with the haiku "湯上りを暫く冬の扇かな" (Yuagari o shibaraku fuyu no ogi kana).
Naito Meisetsu (1847–1926) was a haiku poet born at the Matsuyama domain residence in Edo, whose real name was Motoyuki. As head of the Ehime Prefecture education section he was involved in founding the normal school and the irregular middle school (a forerunner of today's Matsuyama Higashi High School), and he later studied haiku under the younger Masaoka Shiki.
The monument stands along the road of the "Path of Haiku", and the local information board lists it on the Dogo-Kitamachi side. The map pin on this page marks a representative point of the Dogo-Kitamachi section, not the exact position of this monument. The full list of the 11 haiku (on 10 monuments) is on the "Path of Haiku" page.
