The present article aims to investigate stylistic features of lampoons used by Hotai’a and to analyze them considering literary, intellectual, and linguistic aspects. In literary level, rhetorical and lexical figures of speech are searched; and in intellectual level, intellectual themes and lampoon concepts of the poet are investigated.
