- zappai, zoo 雑 Zo - miscellaneous -
In haiku poetry there is the category of "miscellaneous", zappai 雑俳, zakku 雑句.
This comprises short poems that do not fall under the formal criteria set up for haiku/hokku, but which are often listed in a saijiki.
. Haiku - Senryu - Zappai .
In the pre-Meiji era (before 1868), almost all haiku contained a kigo.
For example,
Japanese experts have classified
only 10 of Matsuo Bashō's hokku in the miscellaneous (zō) category
(out of about 1,000 hokku).
. Kigo used in Haiku .
Other poems of the 5 7 5 type by Basho appeared in the middle part of a renku or kasen, where no season word was required.
They would not be seen as HOKKU 発句 - first KU in a linked verse - in his time.
