Ise school - Iseha

A school of haiku. Also known as the Ise style. According to one theory, it is a general term for the unique Ise haiku that has been around since Arakida Moritake, but generally it is a term for the Ise Shomon school centered around Iwata Ryoto and Nakagawa Otsuyu. This school advocated common conversation derived from Basho's teachings of high enlightenment and returning to the common world, and light-heartedness, and was characterized by a simple and vulgar haiku style. Although Ryoto and Otsuyu were Shomon, they were particularly influenced by Kagami Shiko. For this reason, the Ise school was similar to Shiko's Mino school, and both schools were also called Shimugi no to, meaning the schools of Shiko and Otsuyu (Bakurin). His haiku was easy to hear, and he had a great influence not only in Ise but also in the Hokuriku region, but he was looked down upon by other schools, along with the Mino school, as a rural school of Sho. Ryoto restored the Shinpukan, which had been started by Ajiro Hiroji, and became the third generation, followed by the fourth generation Soboku, the fifth generation Bairou, and the sixth generation Onko. Meanwhile, Otsuyoshi was succeeded by his son Bakuro.

The Ise school has tended to be held in low esteem because of its familiarity and vulgarity, but it is noteworthy that it influenced such leaders of the revival period as Ryukyo, Ryotai, Chora, and Ranko.

俳諧(はいかい)流派。伊勢風とも。一説には、荒木田守武(もりたけ)以来の独自な伊勢俳諧の総称ともいうが、一般的には、岩田涼菟(りょうと)、中川乙由(おつゆう)を中心とする伊勢蕉門(しょうもん)の称。一派は、芭蕉(ばしょう)の説く高悟帰俗、軽みから派生した俗談平話を標榜(ひょうぼう)し、平明卑俗な俳風を特色とした。涼菟、乙由は蕉門というものの、とりわけ各務支考(かがみしこう)から多大の影響を受けた。そのため伊勢派は支考の美濃(みの)派と近似し、両派は支考と乙由（麦林(ばくりん)）との流派の意味で、支麦の徒ともよばれた。その俳諧は俗耳に入りやすく、伊勢はもとより北陸筋にまで大きな勢力をもったが、他派からは美濃派ともども田舎(いなか)蕉門と蔑視(べっし)された。涼菟は足代弘氏(あじろひろうじ)に始まる神風館を再興して3世となり、その流れは4世曽北(そぼく)、5世梅路(ばいろ)、6世温故と続いている。一方、乙由の跡は子息麦浪(ばくろう)が受け継いだ。

　伊勢派は、卑近、平俗のゆえに低い評価を受けがちであったが中興期の担い手柳居(りゅうきょ)、涼袋(りょうたい)、樗良(ちょら)、闌更(らんこう)などに影響を与えた点は注目される。
