A document describing the etiquette for participants in haikai gatherings
Haikai values harmony and involves interaction regardless of status, so worldly courtesies are omitted at haikai gatherings to the extent that it does not become rude. ...
〔Deciphered Text〕
Kaishiki
Seal (Intolerance?)
All courtesies cease
Meeting from far and near
But sound first
A single verse on the moon's glow
Also says
Simple food, simple tea
Let things be as they are
To the point of drunken disorder
Let nothing happen
Written by Basho-an Tosei
