The Bungei (literary) Senryū, by Valeria Simonova-Cecon

Extract from the article The profound value of the senryū , published on Haijin Italia n. 18 of 30 April 2014.

“ The senryu are humanity ” - Sugimoto Monta

In the great variety of senryū  of Japan today, we could define the so-called  bungei senryū mainstream . In many spaces of the mass media, columns in newspapers, various pages and blogs dedicated (from  sarariman senryū to jiji senryū , from senryū on toilet paper to those on civil protection) the so-called masukomi senryū (from the English "mass-communication" ), full of humor and satire, but without great pretensions. However, in most official senryū clubs affiliated with the Japanese Senryū Association ( Nissen-kyo ), the authors try to write another type of senryū, more serious, dignified and closer to what we are used to calling "poetry". These are called "literary senryū", or bungei senryū .

Characteristic traits of the senryū bungei

1. Compassion, don't mock

Unlike sarariman or jiji senryū , bungei senryū authors do not criticize or mock others. There is often deep compassion in their verses:

in the choir the mother distinguishes the voice of the son

Shika Senbe

after watching a western movie his wife asks for a hug

Miyamoto Yoshinori

The Japanese, compared to us Westerners, do not greet each other with kisses. Handshakes are also quite rare. Couples are required to be very reserved in public, but even at home there is a tendency to hold back emotions, without manifesting them openly. Thus, a wife accustomed to stifling her feelings, after watching a romantic western film, asks her husband for some tenderness.

2. Poetics of human emotions

The senryu  of contemporary Japanese are also called " poetry of human emotions ." In other words, in the senryū they express, with only 17 syllables, joy, sadness, anger, happiness, etc. There is a particular term - kidoairaku  - which means joy, anger, sadness and cheerfulness (in haiku another term is used that defines the main topics of the genus, namely kachyofugetsu , i.e. flowers, birds, wind and moon):

"Silly!" one word but how much love

Miwa Yoshimura

3. Small everyday things

Often the smallest and most insignificant things in everyday life become the main topic of the  senryū bungei :

but what to give at the opening of the florist?

Grandpa

Usually flowers are given away at inaugurations, but giving them to a florist could be a bit problematic ...

4. Personal experience

In the kosenryū or kyoku we spoke mainly of others. In the senryū bungei , on the other hand, it is the direct and personal experience of the author that becomes the protagonist of the work:

slightly shortens the daughter my spring hair

Ogiwara Hisako

5. Simplicity, not "jargon"

Unlike haiku, traditionally composed with a more elegant and "literate" lexicon, sometimes enriched with archaic expressions and words that are not reflected in the spoken language (for example, kireji ), bungei senryū they follow the "everyday" language. However, while in sarariman  and senryū jiji it is not uncommon to come across puns and slang expressions, bungei senryū are characterized by a more calm, neutral and noble lexicon:

more than dying, he fears his old mother will doze off

Kojima Masahiro

To conclude, we highlight how bungei senryū often resemble haiku a lot, especially when they make use of images of nature:

leaving the car I walk towards the bridge - sounds of water

Fuyuko Taira

The main difference between the senryū bungei and the haiku is, therefore, the focus of the former on the  world of human beings and the latter on the world of nature .
