Hoshino was born in

In 1930 Hoshino founded a "haiku" magazine exclusively for women called "Tamamo". Two years later, she joined the "
Hototogisu " literary circle and shared the position of leading female "haiku" poet withNakamura Teijo . The two were later joined byHashimoto Takako andMitsuhashi Takajo .In 1937 Hoshino published her first "haiku" anthology, which was followed by other volumes including "Kamakura", "Sasame" and "Jitsui". She style remained faithful to her father's insistence on traditional forms, and on the use of natural symbolism, but was tempered with her love of nature and a soft, feminine approach to daily life.
After her father's death, Hoshino became the "haiku" selector for "
Asahi Shimbun " newspaper, and contributed to "haiku" columns in various newspapers and magazines.In addition to "haiku", she also published travel documentaries, including "Tamamo haiwa" ("Stories of the Tamamo Group") and "Yamato Seki-Butsu" ("Stone Buddhas of Yamato").
Hoshino began living in Kamakura,
Kanagawa prefecture in 1911 and following a short period in Tokyo, she returned to Kamakura in 1931, believing it to be an ideal place to bring up her children. She died in 1984 at the age of 80. Her grave is at the temple of Jufuku-ji in Kamakura.ee also
