Quail clothing - Quail coat

A collection of haiku poems. Contains haiku poems by Yokoi Yayu from his youth to his later years. There are 4 volumes, 12 books (3 books each), consisting of the first, second, sequel, and collections. The first volume was published in 1787 (Tenmei 7), the second volume in 1788 (Tenmei 8), and the sequel and collections in 1823 (Bunsei 6). After Yayu's death, Ota Nanpo (Shokusanjin) was impressed by the interestingness of Yayu's writings and obtained a manuscript copy of "Quail Robe" from Yayu's friend Hotta Rokurin, which he published. This led to the continued publication of the series. Using everyday common things as the subject matter, the writings are written by a method of reconstructing a fictional world with a sense of elegance, and have a light and free-flowing flavor based on wit and technique, and have been praised since ancient times as the most refined and complete haiku. However, his elegance is different in spirit from that of Basho, and its main focus is on witty, sophisticated and humorous style.

俳文集。横井也有(やゆう)の若年より晩年に至る俳文を収載したもの。前、後、続、拾遺の4編12冊（各編3冊）。前編1787年（天明7）、後編1788年（天明8）、続・拾遺編1823年（文政6）刊。也有没後、大田南畝(なんぽ)（蜀山人(しょくさんじん)）がその文章のおもしろさに感動し、也有の俳友堀田六林(ろくりん)から稿本『鶉衣』を得て出版、それを機縁に以後続刊された。日用の俗を題材にしながら、風雅の意識により虚構の世界を再構成するという手法によってつづられるその文章は、機知と技巧を基調とする軽妙自在な味をもち、古来、もっとも洗練、完成された俳文として賞されている。もっとも、その風雅は芭蕉(ばしょう)の風雅とは趣を異にし、洒脱(しゃだつ)であか抜けした滑稽(こっけい)味という点に主眼がある。
