Biography

Senge was born in Tokyo as the younger son of the Shinto high priest of Izumo Taisha in Shimane Prefecture, who was also a member of the House of Peers. He was a member of the "Shirakaba" ("White Birch") literary circle, and published many of his poems in their literary magazine. His poems reflect their philosophy of humanism with an optimistic perspective on the world. He was a prolific author, publishing as many as 30-40 works per month. His poems tended to describe everyday events and actions, without resorting to any sentimentality or emotionalism.

His anthology, "Jibun wa mita" (“I Saw”, 1918), contains the poem "Kuruma no oto" (“Noise of the Carts”), which often appears in Japanese collections of Taisho period poetry. His longer work, "Mukashi no ie" (“House of Long Ago”, 1929), is autobiographical, describing his aristocratic background.
