おさらばと 背(ｿﾑ)けし顔を むき玉子 きぬきぬ糸の きるにきられず
大田南畝
Fairwell! From her silk thread of peeled egg, its face turned away,
I made vain efforts to break away.

エロティックな狂歌。別れ難い男女の間を直接的、即物的に表現している。
Erotic kyoka. Male-female attachment is directly and materially expressed.

Note: Kyoka is satirical, ironical or comical short Japanese poem, derived from Tanka, composed of 31 syllables, with a pattern of 5-7-5-7-7 sounds. It flourished and marked a golden age in the late Edo period in the late 18th century as Tenmei Kyoka. Ota Nampo, Shokusanjin (1749-1823), is one of the leading Kyoka poets.
