Cheese
The Kasen ( Japanese 歌仙 , dt. About: "poet masters", also "immortals", "poet geniuses" or "poet saints") describes on the one hand masters of poetry and on the other hand is the most popular form of the Japanese Renku poetry in 36 stanzas. A cheese is assigned to a season, but all four seasons appear in it. The seal is based on a template that specifies which season or which topic is addressed at which point.
The Kasen consists of three parts: the introduction (also prologue or overture) with six stanzas, the main movement (also development or expansion) with 24 stanzas and the end (also conclusion or epilogue) with six stanzas. The first verse is called Hokku ( 発 句 ) and determines the season of the year that gives the name to the cheese to be composed (for example winter cheese). The hokku puts the participants in the right mood for the chain seal. The final verse is called Ageku ( 挙 句 ) and always refers to spring. The Ageku closes the Renku in an optimistic mood.
Haiku , which is widespread worldwide today, arose from the hokku .
