Chikuba Kyoginshu - A collection of stilt-walking rhapsodies

This is an anthology of haikai renga (linked verse) from the late Muromachi period. The author is unknown. It was completed in 1499 (Meio 8). It is a 10-volume book consisting of two parts, hokku (open verse) and tsukeai (attached verse), and contains 20 hokku (open verse) and 217 tsukeku (attached verse). There is a preface at the beginning, which explains the intention of collecting haikai renga. There are many verses that are common to the Inu Tsukuba Collection, and it has great historical value as a precursor to the collection. The only surviving copy is held by the Tenri Library. The name appears in haiku books from the early modern period, but it eventually fell out of sight. It was discovered in 1960 (Showa 35) and attracted attention as the first anthology of haikai renga.

室町後期の俳諧連歌(はいかいれんが)の撰集(せんしゅう)。撰者未詳。1499年（明応8）成立。発句と付合(つけあい)の二部編成の全10巻一冊で、発句20、付句217句を収める。初めに序文があり、あえて俳諧連歌を集めた意を述べる。『犬筑波(いぬつくば)集』とも共通する句が多くみられ、その先蹤(せんしょう)としての史的価値が高い。唯一の伝本が天理図書館に所蔵される。近世初期の俳書にその名がみえるが、やがて知られなくなっていたもので、1960年（昭和35）にみいだされ、俳諧連歌最初の撰集として注目された。
