[Characteristic] Prescribed links. [renku] To guide renku poets, recipes have been developed, such as inviting an honored guest to contribute the opening stanza (the hokku), whom the hokku writer recognizes in the stanza, while also referencing the season when the poem is written. Other links are required to reference the moon or flowers, or one of the seasons. [rengay] 
The rengay uses no recipe for what types of links (such as compliments to the host, or special topics like the moon or love) appear anywhere.
