During the Kansei Reforms at the end of eighteenth century, the authorities censored senryu; for example, some senryu poems including politics, gambling and erotica in the "Haifu-Yanagidaru" were expurgated because they were regarded as corrupting public morals.
18世紀末の寛政の改革では政治、博打、好色といった風俗を乱す句が『誹風柳多留』から削除されるなどの検閲がなされた。
