A thousand poems about red plum blossoms

Japanese: 紅梅千句 - こうばいせんく

A collection of haikai linked verses. Written by Matsunaga Teitoku and others. Published in 1655 (Meireki 1). Hosted by Arima Yusen in January 1653, Teitoku was the guest of honor, and composed by eight people: Masaaki (Sadamuro), Kigin, Ansei, Karai, Masanobu, and Shuhitsu Nagahisa. The book is titled after Teitoku's opening verse, "Benbai yakano Ginkō no karakoromo." This work is a representative linked verse work that shows the pinnacle of Teimon haikai, and was widely circulated and reprinted many times, but Danrin pointed out its closeness to linked verse and criticized it for lacking haikai qualities.

俳諧の連句集。松永貞徳ら著。1655年(明暦1)刊。1653年正月，有馬友仙が主催し，貞徳を正客に迎え，正章(貞室)，季吟，安静，可頼，政信と執筆（しゆひつ）長久の8人で巻いた千句。書名は巻頭の貞徳発句〈紅梅やかの銀公のからころも〉による。本書は貞門俳諧の到達した一頂点を示す代表的連句作品で，よく流布して版を重ねたが，談林からは，連歌への接近が指摘され，俳諧性が薄いと非難された。【乾裕幸】
