Teimon Haikai

Japanese: 貞門俳諧 - ていもんはいかい

A school of haiku poetry from the early Edo period and its style. It is also called the old-fashioned or orthodox style, as opposed to the new and unconventional style of Danrin. "Teimon" refers to the school of haiku poetry of Matsunaga Teitoku. The term "Teimon" sometimes refers to the haiku poetry of Sokan and Moritake (Arakida Moritake) from the top of the haiku style, and also includes the 18th and 19th century schools of Teizan and Tenrai, but generally refers to the haiku group led by Teitoku and their style. For about 100 years, from the 16th century of Sokan and Moritake to the 17th century when the Teimon school emerged, there were two types of haiku poetry: lukewarm wordplay haiku, a hobby for intellectuals, as represented by Miura Tameharu's Inuomokage and Yakanshu, and Iizute haiku, which was not afraid of vulgarity and blatantness.

江戸前期の俳諧流派，またその俳風。談林（だんりん）の新風･異風に対して古風･正風ともいう。〈貞門〉とは松永貞徳（ていとく）の俳門の意。俳風の上から宗鑑（そうかん），守武（もりたけ）(荒木田守武)以来の俳諧を，流派の上から18～19世紀の貞山，天来あたりまでを加えて貞門と呼ぶこともあるが，一般的には貞徳を盟主とする俳諧集団とその俳風をいう。　宗鑑，守武の16世紀から貞門派の台頭する17世紀までの約100年間は，三浦為春の《犬俤（いぬおもかげ）》《野犴（やかん）集》に代表されるような知識人の余技としての微温的なことば遊びの俳諧と，卑俗･露骨をいとわない言捨（いいずて）俳諧とが並び行われていた。
