"A rough arrangement of two or three arguments"
YES! Early 20th-C. Ainu activist IBOSHI Hokuto has appeared at Aozora!
『北斗帖』 (Hokuto chō, "Hokuto['s] notebook") is a tanka collection in Hokuto's idiosyncratic two-line format. There are some rousing Ainu Pride numbers:
滅び行くアイヌの為に起つアイヌ
違星北斗の瞳輝く
For the sake of the perishing Ainu, Ainu rise
Iboshi Hokuto's eyes sparkle
... a long sequence about hemorrhoid* medicine:
ガッチャキの薬をつける術なりと
北斗の指は右に左に
売る俺も買う人も亦ガッチャキの
薬の色の赤き顔かな
"This is how to apply the ointment!"
Hokuto's hands: to the right, to the left (I don't even want to understand this one)
Both I, the seller, and the buyer too:
Faces as red as the ointment itself
... and, returning to the directly-about-Ainu theme, some wry observationals:
俺の前でアイヌの悪口言いかねて
どぎまぎしてる態の可笑しさ
うっかりとアイヌ嘲り俺の前
きまり悪気に言い直しする
Afraid, with me there, to bad-mouth the Ainu
How funny, their flustered state
Scorn for Ainu blurted out before me
Shamefully, they correct themselves
(Sorry for the rushed and shoddy translations -- still in tour guide mode -- strongly recommend a visit to the original!)
language:
Hokuto's hands: to the right, to the left
I think he's describing goatse.
