Bocho Yamamura (?? ??, Yamamura Bocho, January 10, 1884-December 8, 1924) was a Japanese writer, poet and songwriter. Bocho was born Tsuchida Hakkuju in present-day Takasaki, Gunma.
After a hardship-filled infancy, upon completing his studies, he became a Christian preacher.
He gained the public's attention thanks to his acutely sensitive poetry.
Suffering from tuberculosis, out of work, and living a sad vagabond life, he kept writing poetry, fairy tales and songs for children with a humanity-filled, warm style.
In his last years, he composed a number of simply-worded and yet highly inspirational odes to Nature.
