what does wankyuu mean? kanji is 椀久


what does wankyuu mean? the kanji are 椀久 have tried many Japanese dictionaries
but have come up empty also are there any resources that are better than jisho
and the like for looking up Japanese? thanks in advance




Checking <https://kotobank.jp/word/%E6%A4%80%E4%B9%85-665997>, I found the
following (my attempt at translation of that page).

Full name is 椀屋久右衛門 (wanya kyuuemon). A wealthy merchant from Midomae in
Osaka. Had a love affair with the prostitute Matsuyama from Shinmachi. Ended
up under house arrest? (座敷牢) after a life of wild excess. Died insane in the
5th year of the Enpou era (1677). Features in kabuki plays, shamisen
recitations and musical performances.

Feel free to correct me.
