Chirizuka Haikaishu - Chirizuka Haikaishu

Japanese: 塵塚誹諧集 - ちりづかはいかいしゅう

A collection of haiku poems. Written by Saito Tokugen. Completed in 1633 (Kan'ei 10). A two-volume manuscript. At the age of 75, Tokugen wrote down his own haiku and kyoka poems in roughly chronological order since he moved to Wakasa at the end of the Keicho era, at the request of a certain nobleman. The first volume contains haiku poems from 1612 (Keicho 17) onwards, such as those for the four seasons, the name of the Genji chapter, and a day's haiku poem from Arima's bath, as well as a hundred poems added when he visited Teitoku. The second volume contains haiku written in a travelogue sent eastward in the winter of 1629, and "Excerpts from a thousand poems at Atami." This book is valuable both as a biographical resource for Tokugen and as a resource for Edo haiku with pre-phrases.
