Kaishobon

Japanese: 会所本 - かいしょぼん

A collection of poems presented to high marks for zappai. Around 1688 (Genroku 1), zappai became independent from haikai, and kaisho (also called seishosho or kairin) sprang up around masters to collect poems from the public, organize them, and send them to judges. The winning poems were printed and presented at each performance, and this kaisho edition, which clearly states the date, number of poems, author (group name), address, etc., is the most reliable source of information. In Kyoto, small editions were used, in Osaka, Yokohon editions, and in Edo, single-page prints like Senryuhyo editions were the custom. Manku Gagyo [Suzuki Katsutada]

Japanese:

雑俳高点の披露句集。1688年(元禄1)ころ，俳諧から雑俳が独立し，民衆から句を集め，整理して点者に取り次ぐ会所(清書所，会林とも)が，宗匠周辺に発生し，興行ごとに入選句を印刷して披露するようになったが，期日，句数，作者(組連名)，住所などを明記するこの会所本は，資料としていちばん確かなものである。京都は小本，大坂は横本，江戸では川柳評のような一枚摺りが慣習となっていた。万句合興行【鈴木勝忠】
