評価・遺産

Hashi Kanseki combined experimental approaches with a return to traditional renga in late-20th-century Japanese haiku. As founder of the magazine Byakuen and a proponent of renga practice, he influenced subsequent generations; his collections and scholarly works are valued both for haikai practice and haikai history.
