Ya vs other kireji[edit]

Ya is described as "Cutting a poem into two parts, it implies an equation, while inviting the reader to explore their interrelationship." but surely this is a description of all mid-verse kireji? Tesspub (talk) 08:33, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I'm aware of. Do you have a reference?--candyworm (talk) 10:10, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Characters, please[edit]

Please add the corresponding kanji character if there is one. --Sigmundur (talk) 12:29, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similar request for the kireji introduction part, could someone please add the Japanese characters or Kanji characters to the responded Romaji? --Ljqianl (talk) 01:54, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Kana" meaning[edit]

Beware! The modern meaning of "kana" in japanese (which indicates wonder) has nothing to do with the archaic meaning used in haiku. In haiku, it indicates an emotional shock or excitement. The kanji used for this particular meaning of "kana" is 哉. See japanese wiktionary -> Sentence-ending particle -> meaning 1: "（終助詞）感動の気持ちを表す。"

This is a common mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tartalacitrouille (talk • contribs) 13:44, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citation and Resource[edit]

There is an obscure resource as "Shirane" in the citation, could someone figure out what exactly the book. date and publisher are? --Ljqianl (talk) 01:47, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mix Use of Hokku and Haiku[edit]

The definitions and ranges of Hokku and Haiku and also the differences between them are vague. It is possible to unify them which makes more readable?--Ljqianl (talk) 01:51, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of Kireji in Examples[edit]

The choice of two examples are pretty good. However, is it possible to bold or explain how and where kireji is used and the meaning of it? --Ljqianl (talk) 01:57, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

More Section Could be Added[edit]

First of all, what make the kireji so different? It is a characteristic of Haiku which is a 5-7-5 form poem. Does kireji also appear in Senryu which is another 5-7-5 format poem? Besides, the page can be also made some connection with some other haiku characteristics such as kigo(seasonal words). Also, I believe the explanation part could be polished and add more information. Because this is a definition which does not exist in English poem, how should reader understand? I believe that both the use and the English related part could be expanded. --Ljqianl (talk) 02:03, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
