Tossup

With “love” and miscellany, these things structure a “Collection of Gleanings” and an anthology adapted with “allusive variation.” The lecture “Japan, the Beautiful, and Myself” begins by quoting a waka about these “fine” things, (10[1])Dōgen’s “Original Face.” A poetic diary opens by noting, “As [one of these things] advances,” a mansion “looks unutterably beautiful.” In Ivan Morris’s translation of (-5[1])The Pillow Book, the first of four opening passages (10[1])about these things notes, (10[1])“it is the dawn that is most beautiful.” Bashō quoted a Dù Fǔ poem titled for a “Scene” or “View” of one of these (10[1])things (10[2])as (10[1])“The state is destroyed, / rivers (-5[1])and hills remain.” (10[1])Kireji (10[1])(“kee-ray-jee”), or “cutting words,” (-5[2])are used alongside (10[2])kigo, (10[4])or words that (10[1])refer to these (10[1])things, (10[1])such as rain or cherry blossoms. For 10 points, haiku often feature a word suggesting what time periods? ■END■ (10[6])
