意味

Haikai; the tradition of comic linked verse from which haiku emerged; the broader literary culture of playful collaborative poetry.

A noun referring to the pre-modern Japanese tradition of collaborative comic poetry (haikai no renga), distinct from the more serious waka renga. Matsuo Bashō elevated 俳諧 into a refined literary art. The opening verse of a haikai sequence — the hokku — eventually evolved into the independent poem form we now call haiku. Understanding 俳諧 is essential for grasping the cultural and communal context behind classical haiku.
