Buson was born in the village of Kema in Settsu Province (now Kema-chō, Miyakojima Ward in Osaka) city. His original family name was Taniguchi. Around the age of 20, Buson moved to Edo (now Tokyo) and learned poetry under the tutelage of the haikai master Hayano Hajin. After traveling through various parts of Japan, including Tango (the northern part of modern Kyoto Prefecture) and Sanuki (Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku), Buson settled down in the city of Kyoto at the age of 42. Buson married at the age of 45 and had one daughter, Kuno. Buson died at the age of 68 and was buried at Konpuku-ji in Kyoto. more from Wikipedia
