Takatsukuba Collection - Takatsukuba Collection

Japanese: 鷹筑波集 - たかつくばしゅう

A collection of haiku poems. Compiled by Saimu. Published in 1642 (Kan'ei 19). Preface by Teitoku in 1638. 5 volumes. The title is a reference to Inu Tsukubashu. This is a collection of open verse and attached verse that Teitoku had commented on over the past 30 years, which he had Seibu compile. It includes the names of over 300 haiku poets who were direct disciples of Teitoku, and this is in fact the first collection of haiku from the Teitoku school. It appears that the collection was rushed to be completed without adopting a seasonal classification, perhaps due to a race to be the first to publish it with Shigeyori's Kefukigusa, which was published in 1645 (Shoho 2) and had a preface in 1638.

Japanese:

俳諧撰集。西武（さいむ）編。1642年(寛永19)刊。1638年貞徳序。5巻。書名は《犬筑波（いぬつくば）集》に対するもの。貞徳が30年来批点を施した発句，付句（つけく）を西武に編集せしめた書で，貞徳直門の俳人300余が名を連ね，事実上本書が貞門の第1撰集である。四季別分類法をとらず完成を急いだ様子がうかがわれるのは，1638年序･45年(正保2)刊の重頼撰《毛吹草（けふきぐさ）》との先陣争いによるか。
