意味

After all; in the end; ultimately. Also: the final verse of a poem, particularly the closing lines of a waka.

A noun with two distinct registers. In everyday and literary prose, 結句 functions as an adverb meaning 'after all' or 'in the final analysis,' often conveying resignation or inevitability. In classical poetry, it denotes the concluding verse of a waka (短歌), where the poet's central emotion is distilled.
