I'm absolutely losing my marbles trying to find the name of the thing they write the poems on. Every time I google "what are haiku or senryuu written on?" it just throws me 387,000 results on "how to write a haiku." I can't find the damn name anywhere.

Google reverse image search? Nope, it's just a "woodcarving implement." "Haiku canvas" returns a million and one Etsy pages of people painting a haiku on a normal canvas. "Senryuu paper thing" -- nothing. I even googled the history of Japanese paper for a lead, and still couldn't find it.

I was going to flip through the series again to see if they ever bring it up, but it's a bit time consuming. Anyone happen to know off the dome what the canvases are called?

Please save my sanity. Thanks.

My research has borne fruit. To save the rest of you curious fellows from your plight, here is some information:

As far as I can tell, it's called tanzaku shikishi which combines tankzaku (a strip of paper used during tanabata) and shikishi ("a specially prepared square paper affixed to a hard backing") to result in something like this.

Googling "tanzaku shikishi" and "long shikishi" gives the same result, and its as close to the canvas used in the show as I can find. On the website I linked, they clock in at about $3 a piece, so I guess the MC spends around $3 every time she talks.
