Comic tanka is a literary art that was born in Kyoto and vicinity in the Edo period. It is a kind of tanka poetry that incorporates satirize society, irony, and comical, and is composed of “5,7,5,7,7” like tanka. In the middle of the Edo period, the epidemic moved from the upper region to Edo, and it seems that it became a social phenomenon in the Tenmei period. Comic tanka meetings were held in various places, and it seems that enthusiasts made comic tanka reams and worked hard to create them, but it seems that the center of the Hitachi region was two towns, Aso and Edosaki. In the Aso domain, there was a tendency among the feudal lords to prefer Japanese poetry, but among the feudal lords, the 12th feudal lord “Naokazu SHINJO-Ko” liked haiku and left a song called “Renka-号”.

It seems to be attractive.

Even if it is snowing in Tamatsukuri, it seems that there are many times when it is raining in Kitaura. It seems that they are growing varieties suitable for each land through repeated research.
