Tengu Haikai

Japanese: 天狗俳諧 - てんぐはいかい
Tengu Haikai
A game of haiku poetry. Three people create a verse with five lines at the top, seven lines in the middle, and five lines at the bottom. They then join them together and enjoy the pleasure of seeing whether a verse comes together by chance or whether it is completely incomprehensible. An article about this game can be found in the "Conflict" from 1768 (Meiwa 5) in the late Edo period.
