Wikipedia
Haikai (Japanese 俳諧 comic, unorthodox) is the name of a poetic genre that includes a number of forms which embrace the aesthetics of haikai no renga, and what Bashō referred to as the "poetic spirit" (fūga), including haiku, renku (haikai no renga), haibun, haiga and senryū (though not renga, tanka nor waka). The term could be translated as "haikai poetry" or "haikai art", and involved a combination of comic playfulness and spiritual depth.
"Haikai" is sometimes used as an abbreviation for "haikai no renga" (renku).
