Saishū wrote a poetry column for the magazine ''Shinsei'' ("New Voices"). He also founded the Shazensō-sha ("Plantain Society") in 1905, which stressed clarity, simplicity, and capturing ordinary experiences in poetry.<ref>{{cite book|author-link=Seiko Tanabe|first=Seiko|last= Tanabe |title=A Thousand Strands of Black Hair |translator= Meredith McKinney |page= 222 |quote=Onoe had been a disciple of Ochiai Naobumi at Asakasha in the days when [[Yosano Tekkan|Tekkan]] was also in his fold, but had since formed the [[Ikazuchi Society]] with [[Inokichi Kubo|Kubo Inokichi]] and {{nihongo|Motoharu Hattori |服部躬治|Hattori Motoharu}}, and undertaken a tanka reform movement.

Members of the Shazensō-sha included the noted ''Naturalist'' tanka poets [[Wakayama Bokusui]] and [[Maeda Yugure|Maeda Yūgure]], a pupil of Onoe Saishū.
