Tagami Kikusha (田上菊舎, 3 Nov 1753–23 Aug 1826 [ Hōreki 3.10.14 – Bunsei 9.8.23]) was a Japanese Early Modern literata (bunjin).
She was born in the village of Tasuki, Toyoura District, Nagato Province (in modern Hôhoku, Yamaguchi Prefecture).
In 1781 [Tenmei 1], at the age of 29, she decided to retrace the journeys of Matsuo Bashô (1644-1694) and Jôdo Shinshû sect founder Shinran (1173-1263).
After setting out from Chôfu, she first visited Yahata Hitomaru Shrine in the Ôtsu district (modern Yuya, Nagato, Yamaguchi Prefecture) to pray for artistic prowess.
She took the tonsure at Seikôji, a Jôdo Shinshû temple in Hagi with ties to Hongan-ji, receiving the Buddhist name Myôi 妙意; she then began a solitary journey to deepen her understanding of haikai poetry.
