Buraiha
Buraiha is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that emerged during the Edo period. It is characterized by its use of colloquial language and a focus on everyday life, often reflecting the experiences and emotions of common people. Unlike more formal styles of poetry, Buraiha embraces a more relaxed and accessible tone.
The term "Buraiha" translates to "the school of the unruly" or "the school of the wild." This style is associated with poets like Kikaku and Shiki, who sought to break away from the rigid structures of classical poetry. Buraiha emphasizes spontaneity and personal expression, making it a significant part of Japan's literary history.
