Kururu - Kururu

Japanese: 久流留 - くるる

A treatise on haiku. Written by Yamamoto Saimu. Published in 1650 (Keian 3). A method book that arranges the words used in haiku in alphabetical order and describes sari-kirai (dislikes). It is based on the rites of Wakan Renga (linked verse in verse), and includes notes from Teitoku. Teitoku's Tensui-sho, completed in 1644, states, "There is one volume called Kuro-to. All matters should be decided by this for the disciples of Maru." This shows that this book was created early, and that it was used as the official rites of the Tei school before Teitoku's Gosan was created. [Inui Hiroyuki]

俳諧論書。山本西武（さいむ）著。1650年(慶安3)刊。俳諧に用いることばをいろは順に並べ，去嫌（さりきらい）について記した作法書。和漢連歌の式目を基準とし，貞徳からの聞書を交えて成った。1644年に成った貞徳の《天水抄》に，〈くろゝとて一巻あり。丸門弟これにて万事その沙汰すべし〉とあるから本書の成立は早く，貞徳の《御傘（ごさん）》成立以前は，これが貞門の正式目として用いられていたことがわかる。【乾裕幸】
