Recognized


JISEI is a poem written by the poet before their own death. These poems are the final reflections of one's life. It was generally a tradition with zen monks but they were written by all kinds of poets as well. These poems originated in Japanese, Chinese and Korean cultures as far back as the 7th Century, and can be written in any poetry form, but were traditionally written in tanka or haiku style. for more information click here = for more information click here
