Group of Five
The Go Gawa poetry club (Japanese 五側), also known as the Group of Five poetry club or Gogawa poetry group, was a famous poetry club in Edo, Japan, during the early 19th century. Artists working for the group often wrote poetry on illustrated surimono, and signed their work with the Go Gawa symbol, an hourglass resembling the number five. By 1836, the club had already met 1,600 times.
