Shinshisha - Shinshisha

Japanese: 新詩社 - しんししゃ

A poetry society. Founded on November 11, 1899, it was dissolved in October 1949. Its official name was Tokyo Shinshi-sha. It was founded by Yosano Tekkan, who split off from Ochiai Naofumi's Asaka-sha with the aim of innovating traditional waka poetry. It launched its journal Myojo in April 1900, and reigned over the poetry world as the mother of romanticism in the mid- to late Meiji period. Its foundation was determined by Yosano Akiko's Midaregami (1901), and it brought together such brilliant poets as Kubota Utsubo, Takamura Kotaro, Soma Gofu, Yoshii Isamu, Ishikawa Takuboku, Kitahara Hakushu, and Kinoshita Mokutaro, but it went into decline with the rise of naturalism, and Myojo ceased publication with its 100th issue in November 1908. However, the lifeblood of Shinshisha survived with Tekkan and Akiko, and was succeeded by such magazines as Subaru (09-13), Tokihagi (09-10), the second edition of Myojo (21-27), Fuyukaku (30-52) published by their disciples after the deaths of Tekkan and Akiko, and the third edition of Myojo (47-49) published by their eldest son Yosano Hikaru. It nurtured such poets as Horiguchi Daigaku, Sato Haruo, Okamoto Kanoko, Hara Asao, and Mizukami Takitarō, and was a major source of modern tanka throughout the Meiji and Taisho periods.

詩歌結社。 1899年 11月 11日創立，1949年 10月解散。正式名は東京新詩社。与謝野鉄幹が伝統和歌の革新を目指し，落合直文のあさ香社から分れて結成。 1900年4月に機関誌『明星』を創刊，明治中期～後期の浪漫主義の母体として詩歌壇に君臨した。その基礎を決定したのは与謝野晶子の『みだれ髪』 (1901) であり，鉄幹，晶子夫妻を中心に，窪田空穂，高村光太郎，相馬御風，吉井勇，石川啄木，北原白秋，木下杢太郎らの俊才が集ったが，自然主義の勃興とともに衰微の道をたどり，『明星』は 08年 11月第 100号をもって廃刊した。しかし「新詩社」の命脈は鉄幹，晶子とともに存続，『スバル (昴)』 (09～13) ，『トキハギ』 (09～10) ，第2次『明星』 (21～27) ，鉄幹，晶子の死後門人たちの手で刊行された『冬柏』 (30～52) ，長男与謝野光が刊行した第3次『明星』 (47～49) などに継承され，堀口大学，佐藤春夫，岡本かの子，原阿佐緒，水上滝太郎らを育て，明治，大正を通じ近代短歌の一大水脈であった。
