Bamboo Forest Excerpt

A collection of linked verse poems from the mid-Muromachi period. Compiled by Sogi. Completed in 1476 (Bunmei 8). Sogi selected seven people as masters of linked verse in the "recent age" - Sozei, Soi (Sugihara Katamori), Shinkei, Gyojo, Senjun, Chiun (Ninagawa Chikamasa), and Noa - and likened them to the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest in China, and collected and compiled their works. There are some variations in the various editions, but the largest edition has a total of 1,837 verses (including 288 hokku verses). The authors with the most verses included are Shinkei, Sozei, and Senjun. Kaneyoshi Ichijo wrote a preface explaining the circumstances of the work's creation. The style of the poems is said to be centered on the mysterious and mysterious verses favored by Sogi, but there are also many strong verses characteristic of non-aristocratic jige renga.

室町中期の連歌撰集(れんがせんしゅう)。宗祇(そうぎ)編。1476年(文明8)成る。宗祇が「近き世」の連歌の名匠たちとして選んだ、宗砌(そうぜい)、宗伊(そうい)(杉原賢盛(かたもり))、心敬(しんけい)、行助(ぎょうじょ)、専順(せんじゅん)、智蘊(ちうん)(蜷川親当(にながわちかまさ))、能阿(のうあ)の7人を、中国の竹林の七賢になぞらえて、その作品を収集編纂(へんさん)したもの。諸本により出入りがあるが、もっとも多い本で総句数1837句(うち発句288句)。採録句数のとくに多いのは、心敬、宗砌、専順。一条兼良(かねら)が序を寄せて成立事情を述べている。句の傾向は宗祇好みの幽玄有心(ゆうげんうしん)を中心とするとされるが、非貴族的な地下(じげ)連歌独特の強い調子のものも少なくない。
