This study is aimed at highlighting an aspect of the images of vocabulary expressions found in “Konkatsu Senryu” that is closer to the actuality that is exchanged in daily life linguistic space rather than being limited to the category of fixated interpretation such as those in dictionary through “Konkatsu Senryu.” As the result of the study, there was a trend that can be predicted under the themes of “Konkatsu Senryu” including <Konkatsu>, <Red string of fate> and <Encounter>, etc. in the survey for frequency of occurrence of vocabulary. However, when viewed from other perspective, it can be deemed that this characterizes this Senryu. In addition, due to abundance of works that used the same vocabulary, it is possible to compare a diverse range of cases for the significances and images contained in the vocabulary. Furthermore, as the result of observing the meanings in works with focus on the frequency of occurrence of vocabulary, diversified and multifaceted images were highlighted. Although some of the limited vocabulary was analyzed in this study due to the limited space, I am planning to pursue research on greater number of cases in the future.
