Mizuta Masahide (水田 正秀, 1657–1723) was a seventeenth-century (Edo period) Japanese poet and samurai who studied under Matsuo Bashō.
Masahide practiced medicine in Zeze and led a group of poets who built the Mumyō Hut.
Alternate translation:[3] Since my house burned down I now own a better view of the rising moon When bird passes on When bird passes on -- like moon, a friend to water.
Masahide's Death Poem while I walk on the moon keeps pace beside me: friend in the water
