10almost a year ago、started writing haiku。I wish I had something that I could call a hobby.、Because I thought。It doesn't cost much money、All I have to think about is 17 characters.、I wonder if even I, who is quite slow, can do it.、(Like many people) It was because of impure feelings.。In order not to give up too soon、I was asked to teach at a (too small) haiku meeting.。There is a haiku meeting once a month.、It was the 100th anniversary at the end of last year.。At first, I wanted to try various things.、smug、Create many phrases that are quite biased、I incurred the displeasure of the members.。
Lately, I've been feeling like I can't say much with 17 letters.。Just in case、Since it is a traditional haiku, seasonal words are included.。With this, I spend about five characters.。There are only 12 characters left、It takes about five characters to write the name of a specific thing or some description.。Convey your mood and intention with the remaining seven letters、I started to feel like there was no way I could do it.。Certainly a masterpiece、There are some ``famous haiku'' that have such depth and breadth that it is hard to believe that they are made up of only 17 characters.。But、for ordinary people like me、No matter what I do, I imitate others、It cannot help but become a simile.。
So if it's a tanka with 31 characters,、There is no need for seasonal words.、I thought I could use the whole thing for myself.、I started reading a book of modern tanka poems.。It's definitely much more interesting then。However, I have come to understand that it is more than four times as difficult to create a character with 7 characters and 31 characters.。This is a huge burden both time-wise and mentally.。On the other hand, haiku is still continuing.。This is why、Sometimes I compose tanka、If only the first 17 characters are considered a haiku,、I thought that I could kill two birds with one stone.。
I didn't think it would go that well、It was as expected。Important points even in tanka、What I want to say is the second half.。But、Then I noticed one thing。First half of tanka、I mean, it's not a big deal、That place is called a landscape or a scene.、The part that explains the “background” so to speak.。Isn't that exactly the part of ``Kacho Fugetsu''?。I see、Haiku is about completely cutting out the important parts.、Because it can't be explained in just seven letters.、I think it's a black business method that leaves the reader completely exposed.。-This is where we finally get to the “Hyakunin Isshu” poem.、How to learn the ``tricks'' of creating leisurely landscapes from the dynasty era、It is said that ``Hyakunin Isshu,'' which narrows down masterpieces from Manyo to Shinkokinshu to just 100 poems, is the quickest way to get started.、Not a hobbyist idea at all、I decided to read it.。However、I have a strong feeling that this is going to lead to a lot of problems.、I'm in trouble in a way.。
