ABSTRACT

As known, ‘Senryu’ is a form of a short poetry introduced in the mid-Edo era and is referred to as the ‘representation of public participation culture’. This goes to show how emotions that are closely knitted to the lives of people are portrayed frankly in Senryu. This indicates that Senryu is a precious linguistic material which reflects actual language used by people living in the said era. while signifying materials in daily living that embrace the realistic and inner scenery in the hearts of the living in everyday life. Currently, in Japan, Senryu competitions in the form of public participation are gaining popularity. If the works published through such opportunities are examined, it seems as if works carrying various contents are simply arranged. However, if these works are analyzed from the perspective of vocabulary and theme, the existence of diversity as well as similarities or tendencies can be confirmed simultaneously, and the linguistic characteristics of the modern Japanese, the aspects of life and community awareness, can be observed. Therefore, this study aims to achieve the study objective by analyzing the ‘Salaryman Senryu’ from the above mentioned perspective.
