  • Rhyming Pattern Selection in Japanese Short Poetry
    Original Paper________________________________________________________ Forma, 21, 259–273, 2006 Statistical Prosody: Rhyming Pattern Selection in Japanese Short Poetry Kazuya HAYATA Department of Socio-Informatics, Sapporo Gakuin University, Ebetsu 069-8555, Japan E-mail address: [email protected] (Received August 5, 2005; Accepted August 2, 2006) Keywords: Quantitative Poetics, Rhyme, HAIKU, TANKA, Bell Number Abstract. Rhyme patterns of Japanese short poetry such as HAIKU, SENRYU, SEDOKAs, and TANKAs are analyzed by a statistical approach. Here HAIKU and SENRYU are poems composed of only seventeen syllables, which can be segmented into five, seven, and five syllables. As rhyming both head and end rhymes are considered. Analyses of sampled works of typical poets show that for the end rhyme composers prefere the avoided rhyming, whereas for the head rhyme they compose poems according to the stochastic law. Subsequently the statistical method is applied to a work of SEDOKAs as well as to those of TANKAs being written with three lines. Evaluation of the khi-square statistics shows that for a certain work of TANKAs the feature being identical to that of HAIKU is seen. 1. Introduction Irrespective of languages, texts are categorized into proses and verses. Poems, in general, take the form of the latter. Conventional poetics has classified poems into a variety of forms such as a lyric, an epic, a prose, a long, and a short poem. One finds that in typical European poetry a sound on a site in a line is correlated to that on the same site in another line in an established form. Correlation among feet of lines is termed end rhyme in contrast to the head rhyme for the one among heads of lines (SAKAMOTO, 2002).

  • Japanese Elements in the Poetry of Fred Wah and Roy Kiyooka
    Susan Fisher Japanese Elements in the Poetry of Fred Wah and Roy Kiyooka For nearly a century, Japanese poetic forms have pro- vided inspiration for poets writing in English. The importance of Japanese poetry for Ezra Pound and its role in the formation of Imagism have been well documented (see, for example, Kawano, Kodama, and Miner). Charles Olson, in his manifesto "Projective Verse" (1950), drew examples from Japanese sources as well as Western ones. Several of the Beat Generation poets, such as Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, and Philip Whalen, studied in Japan and their work reflects a serious interest in Japanese poetry. Writing in 1973, p o e t and translator Kenneth Rexroth declared that "classical Japanese and Chinese poetry are today as influential on American poetry as English or French of any period, and close to determinative for those born since 1940" (157). Rexroth may have been overstating this influence; he, after all, had a role in creating it. Nonetheless, what Gary Snyder calls the "myste- riously plain quality" of East Asian verse has served as a model for the simple diction and directness of much contemporary poetry ("Introduction" 4). Writers belonging to these two generations of Asian-influenced American poets—the Imagists and the Beat poets—had no ethnic connection to Asia. But the demographic changes of the last few decades have produced a third generation whose interest in Asian poetry derives at least in part from their own Asian background. Several Asian Canadian poets have written works that are modelled on Japanese genres or make sustained allusions to Japanese literature.

  • Basho's Haiku
    Introduction THE HAIKU POETRY OF MATSUO BASHO¯ stormy sea— stretching out over Sado, Heaven’s River araumi ya / sado ni yokotau / amanogawa Basho¯ was standing on the western shores of Japan looking out upon the night sea. He was pausing on his long journey to the “deep north” of Japan, and he could hear the crashing of the waves. Miles beyond lay Sado Island. Sado was known as a place of riches, where gold was being mined. But even more it was known as a place where numerous people, including the Emperor Juntoku, the Buddhist leader Nichiren, and the great medieval No¯ dramatist Zeami, had endured the enforced soli- tude of exile. The poem begins with an exclamation of the vio- lence and vastness of the water, the cutting word ya functioning somewhat like an exclamation point. Then our consciousness is brought to a focus on the melancholy island, small in the cold sweep of ocean. The island lies in contrast to the ocean that sur- rounds it, yet it harbors centuries of the emotional storm of exile. Then our consciousness is pulled up and out across the sky, as Heaven’s River (the Milky Way) reaches from horizon to horizon. As a metaphorical river, it flows in eternal tranquillity above the storms of the sea and of human life, sparkling with a scattered brightness more pure than gold. Basho¯, the island, and everything on earth seem to be alone yet together under the 1 © 2004 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 Basho¯’s Haiku stream of stars.

More important was an almost Joycean epiphany: a sudden change of scale or context. That in turn requires a word or phrase that is su$ciently detailed, precise, irreplaceable and robust to serve as the hinge between two radically discrepant contexts or shared perspectives. !My first choice, accordingly, is Robert Epstein's poem: !!birdsong !!her whole world !!through that peephole Here the significance of the haiku's generic traits%condensed scale and perspectival shift%are explicitly thematized in the description of a world dependent on a particular scope (“through that peephole”) and the suggestion of a “whole world” reduced to such a narrow compass (evoking William Blake’s hope “to see the world in a grain of sand” and Hamlet’s declaration that he “could live in a walnut shell and feel like the king of the universe”). The lynchpin, then, is “peephole”%echoing both the congruence of the “whole” and the “hole” as well as the estranging shift between the audible and visible in the two senses of peep: the quick glance and the sound of the young bird.

  • JICC Teaching Tuesday: Haiku
    HAIKU Haiku poetry developed in the Heian period of Japan, but was not original- ly considered its own style of poetry. In the 9th century, the most common form of Japanese poetry, the waka, was refined into a structure called a tanka, which featured a very specific 5-7-5-7-7 sound form. These in turn inspired renga, an elite parlor game between two or more writers, where poets would alternate between writing 5-7-5 stanzas, called a hokku, and 7-7 stanzas. These renga were often hundreds of lines long. As the hokku would set the mood and scene for the poem, hokku authors were often admired for their skill, and in the 19th century, the hokku began to be writ- ten and read as an individual poem, the haiku. Haiku can be written about almost anything, but there are some specific techniques that make a poem a haiku. One of the most important struc- tural elements is the kigo, a season word, which indicate in which season the haiku is set. The season is fundamental to haiku, otherwise it can be mistaken as another type of poetry. A haiku also often uses the technique of “cutting” (kiru 切る), where two independent images or ideas are juxta- posed by using a kireji 切れ字 (“cutting word”) between them. In English, this is usually done using a colon, long dash or ellipsis. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of 17 on (音), or phonetic sounds, ar- ranged in lines of five, seven, and five. On is sometimes translated as “syl- lables” in English, but as Japanese kanji can often condense more sound and meaning than the English Roman alphabet, the 5-7-5 structure is not considered a strict rule.

    New Hitch Haiku: An Interactive Renku Poem Composition Supporting Tool Applied for Sightseeing Navigation System Xiaofeng Wu1, Naoko Tosa1, and Ryohei Nakatsu2 1 Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies, Kyoto University Yoshida-Nihonmatsu, Sakyo, Kyoto, 606-8501 Japan [email protected], [email protected] 2 Interactive & Digital Media Institute, National University of Singapore Blk E3A #02-04, 7 Engineering Drive 1, Singapore 117574 [email protected] Abstract. As is well-known, cultures are rooted in their unique regions, histories and languages. Communication media have been developed to circulate these cul- tural characteristics. As a part of our research “Cultural Computing”, which means the translation of cultures using scientific methods representing essential aspects of Japanese culture[1], an interactive Renku poem generation supporting system was developed to study the reproduction of a traditional Japanese Renku by computer. This system extended the functionality of our previous Hitch-Haiku system to the Renku based on same association method and attached more cultural characteristics on it: the Renku verse displayed on the Japanese-style color pattern which repre- sents the same season in Renku Kigo (seasonal reference) and the generated Renku verse including the information of sightseeing place. Keywords: Haiku, Renku, Renku generation, Interactive art, Association. 1 Introduction Haiku is a Japanese traditional poem style with minimal length of seventeen syllables (in Japanese) in three metrical phrases including a seasonal word called “Kigo.” The original form of Haiku was called Hokku and in the late 19th century Shiki Masaoka revised it and finally established the present form of Haiku [3].
