井原西鶴はいつ亡くなりましたか？
As Saikaku’s popularity and readership began to increase and expand across Japan, so did the amount of literature he published. When he died in 1693, at the age of fifty-one, Saikaku was one of the most popular writers of the entire Tokugawa period. At the time his work was never considered "high" literature because it had been aimed towards and popularised by the "chōnin". Nevertheless, Saikaku's work is now celebrated for its significance in the development of Japanese fiction.
