Fujitani-Nariakira and Banbayashi-Mitsuhira, the “kokugaku” scholars of the Edo Period, divided the history of the styles of early modern
waka poetry into two periods. While
Sangyoku-shū established an elegant and ethereal style of poetry from the Muromachi Period to the late eighteenth century, the plain style of
Ruidai-fukugyoku-shū became more dominant in the nineteenth century. In the eighteenth century the Jige poetical circles were explosively on the rise. Under the influence of the Dōjō school they usually referred to
Shin-dairin-waka-shū and other poetry collections of the school which were modeled after the works of Emperor Go-Mizunoo’s circle. In this way the trend of eighteenth-century poetics was created through the publishing media. In the nineteenth century, however, the school’s ambiguous tone became out of fashion. Instead, as the number of lay poets was on the increase, the Jige school developed its own plain style more suitable for topics from their daily life. This is the goal of early modern poetics.
