Nobukata Kiyohara was adopted by Munekata Kiyohara and was at one time teacher to the Emperors Gokashiwabara and Gonara. Later entered a monastery to become a priest under the name of Sobu (1529). The explanatory notes for Smsho Gokyd (A Treatise on Nine Famous Classics of Confucianism) and Kam-sho (Treatise on the Japanese Alphabet) are said to have been written by him.
