A book of humorous haiku

Japanese: 誹諧発句帳 - はいかいほっくちょう

A collection of haiku poems. Compiled by Chikashige (Ryuho). Published in 1633 (Kan'ei 10). During the editing of Enokoshu, Chikashige and his co-editor Shigeyori, who belonged to a different school of haiku and followed a different style, came into disagreement and parted ways with him. This collection of haiku was published in opposition to the collection that Shigeyori had usurped. By cutting and splicing the main text of Enokoshu, adding more verses to create a new atmosphere, and revising the verse forms and author names, Chikashige is implicitly criticizing the sloppy nature of Enokoshu. However, its significance in the history of haiku is not as great as that of Enokoshu, the first collection of haiku with similar themes.

Japanese:

俳諧撰集。親重（ちかしげ）(立圃（りゆうほ）)編。1633年(寛永10)刊。《犬子（えのこ）集》編集中，異なる俳系に属して，準拠する法式も違った共編者重頼と意見が対立して決別，重頼に奪われた同集に対抗し，刊行した発句集。《犬子集》の本文を切り継ぎ，句数を増補して新味を出し，句形や作者名を修正して，暗に《犬子集》のずさんさを批判している。しかし俳諧史上の意義は類題句集の嚆矢（こうし）《犬子集》に及ばない。
