haikun.

Brit.

/ˈhʌɪkuː/, U.S.

/ˈhaɪˌku/

Forms: Also haikai, hokku.

Etymology: Japanese.

A form of Japanese verse, developed in the mid-16th century, usually consisting of 17 syllables and originally of jesting character; an English imitation of one. The hokku was originally the opening hemistich of a linked series of haiku poems, but is now synonymous with haiku and haikai. An earlier meaning of haikai, an abbreviation of the phr. haikai no renga (‘jesting linked-verse’), was a succession of haiku linked together to form one poem.

1899 W. G. Aston Hist. Japanese Lit. iv. 289 In the sixteenth century a kind of poem known as Haikai, which consists of seventeen syllables only, made its appearance.

1899 Trans. Asiatic Soc. Japan 27 iv. p. xiv The hokku must be an exceedingly compact bit of word and thought skill to be worth anything—as literature.

1902 Trans. Asiatic Soc. Japan 30 ii. 243 The poets of Japan have produced thousands of these microscopic compositions... Their native name is Hokku (also Haiku and Haikai), which, in default of a better equivalent, I venture to translate by ‘Epigram’, using that term..as denoting any little piece of verse that expresses a delicate or ingenious thought.

1904 Westm. Gaz. 19 Apr. 10/1 The perfect haikai is a Lilliputian lyric of but three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables respectively—seventeen in all—in which is deftly caught a thought-flash or swift impression... An example..is the following: The west wind whispered And touched the eyelids of Spring: Her eyes, Primroses.

1957 C. Brooke-Rose Lang. of Love 47 Her translations of haiku were elegant.

1969 Radio Times 15 May 9/1 A sequence of twenty-one sonnets and two haiku on the first American landing in Japan in the mid-nineteenth century.
