A supporter of Kobayashi Issa, Kubota Shunko was the husband of the more famous Kubota Seifu. He was responsible for preserving one of his master's works: Last Days of Issa's Father (父の終焉日記, Chichi no Shūen Nikki), a poignant account of his father's final days. The text was passed down by generations of Shunko's descendants.
