Popular Poetry - Minshu-shiha

Japanese: 民衆詩派 - みんしゅうしは
Popular Poetry - Minshu-shiha

A literary school. Around 1916 (Taisho 5), Masao Fukuda, Seigo Shiratori, Kazuo Kato and others learned from Tolstoy, Whitman, Traubel and others and began to choose the work and life of workers and farmers as the subject of their poetry from a democratic standpoint. In January 1918, they founded the magazine Minshu together with Soji Momota and Saika Tomita, and the name Minshu gradually became more common. Since then, poems and poets with democratic tendencies, including this school, have been called the Minshu school. The achievement of this school was that it brought realism and simplicity to poetry, but in exchange, poetry became loose and prosaic, and it was attacked by artists such as Hakushu Kitahara and Konosuke Hinatsu, and lost its influence from the end of the Taisho period onwards.

Japanese:

文学流派。1916年(大正5)ごろから、福田正夫、白鳥省吾(しろとりせいご)、加藤一夫らは、トルストイ、ホイットマン、トローベルなどに学んで民主主義の立場から労働者や農民の労働や生活を詩の題材に選ぶようになった。18年1月、彼らは百田宗治(ももたそうじ)や富田砕花(さいか)らと『民衆』を創刊、民衆派の名称はしだいに一般化した。以後、この派を含めて民主的傾向をもつ詩や詩人を民衆詩派とよぶようになった。この派の功績は詩に現実性と平易性とをもたらしたことだが、そのかわりに詩が弛緩(しかん)し散文化して、北原白秋(はくしゅう)や日夏耿之介(こうのすけ)などの芸術派の人の攻撃を受け、大正末年以降は力を失っていった。
