◇ Ishizuka Tatsumaro (Noriyoshi) Mid-Edo to late-Edo period Kokugaku scholar (a disciple of Motoori Norinaga), researcher of Manyogana usage. Second son of Shibaemon Ishizuka, a magistrate of the Oosawa family, and a village headman. Disciple of Utiyama Shinryu and Motoori Norinaga. He studied under Norinaga and primarily researched ancient Japanese. In "Kogen Seidakuko" (Study of Ancient Words' Clear and Murky Sounds), starting from the distinction between clear and murky sounds in Manyogana in the Kojiki, he examined the writings of the Kojiki, Nihon Shoki, Manyoshu, etc., and clarified that "voiced sounds do not follow each other in compound words" and "particles are not voiced after." In "Kajiyokaku Okuyama no Michi" (The Deep Path of Character Usage), he clarified that there were distinctions in the writing of some syllables in the Kojiki, Nihon Shoki, and Manyoshu. He came to be appreciated in later years. Common name: An'emon. Birthplace: Hosoda Village, Shuchi District, Totomi Province (present-day Kyowa-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture).
