Tenrou - Tenrou

A haiku magazine. It was first published in Nara in 1948 (Showa 23). Yamaguchi Seishi, who had left Ashibi due to differences in literary views, was supported by Saito Sanki, Hashimoto Takako, Enomoto Fuichiro, and others to start the magazine as a coterie magazine. The first issue proclaimed the "brutal haiku spirit" and "depressing authority of the haiku world," and the magazine was dedicated to the pursuit of the origins of "grasping life (the origins) with bare hands," which had a major impact on the haiku world after World War II. Other coterie magazine members at the time of its founding included Akimoto Fujio and Hirahata Seito. Later, Ushiro Boseki, Yokoyama Hakuko, Sawaki Kinichi, Sato Kibo, Suzuki Murio, and others were added. With the improvement of the haiku column "Distant Star Collection," the magazine became the magazine under Seiko's supervision. Publication continued thereafter under Seiko's strong initiative, but in 1993, Seiko decided to cease publication due to her own declining physical strength and eyesight. In March of the following year, 1994, Seiko passed away, and in June of the same year, the magazine was discontinued after the publication of the "final issue."

俳句雑誌。1948年（昭和23）奈良で創刊。文学的主張の相違から『馬酔木(あしび)』を辞した山口誓子(せいし)が、西東三鬼(さいとうさんき)、橋本多佳子(たかこ)、榎本(えのもと)冬一郎らの擁立を受け、同人誌として出発させた。創刊号に「酷烈なる俳句精神」「鬱然(うつぜん)たる俳壇的権威」を掲げ「素手によって生命（根源）を把握」という根源探求に専心し、第二次世界大戦後の俳壇に大きな影響を与えた。創刊時の同人にはほかに、秋元不死男(ふじお)、平畑静塔(せいとう)らがいる。のちに右城暮石(ぼせき)、横山白虹(はくこう)、沢木欣一(きんいち)、佐藤鬼房(きぼう)、鈴木六林男(むりお)らを加えた。選句欄「遠星集」の充実により、誓子主宰誌となった。以後、誓子の強いイニシアティブの下で発行が続いたが、93年（平成5）、誓子が自身の体力と視力の低下を理由に終刊を決定。翌94年3月、誓子が死去し、同年6月、「終刊号」の発行を最後に廃刊された。
