Mu myaka ibihumbi, abashakanye hirya no hino ku isi bahisemo impeta z’ubukwe cyangwa iz’isezerano kugira ngo bagaragaze urukundo n’ubudahemuka. Ibi ni umuco umaze imyaka ibarirwa mu bihumbi uvugururwa uko ibihe bihinduka, ariko ubutumwa bwawo bw’ingenzi buguma ari: impeta ihagarariye isezerano ridashira.

Impeta za mbere z’ubukwe zabayeho imyaka irenga 3,000 ishize. Inyandiko z’Abanyegiputa zo kuri papyrus zigaragaza abashakanye bahanaga impeta zakorwaga mu mikenyero cyangwa ibyatsi. Kubera ko ibi bikoresho byangirikaga vuba, nyuma haje gukoreshwa impu, amahembe y’inzovu cyangwa amagufwa.

Guhitamo igikoresho byari bifite icyo bivuze. Ibikoresho bihenze byagaragazaga urukundo rwinshi kandi bigasobanura n’icyubahiro cy’utanga impano. Abanyegiputa bizeraga ko impeta y’uruziga (cercle) isobanura ubuziraherezo, naho icyuho cy’imbere kikaba ikimenyetso cy’ejo hazaza abageni bazahuriramo.

Abanyaroma n’Abagiriki bizeraga ko urutoki rwa kane rw’ukuboko kw’imoso rufite vena amoris, cyangwa “umutsi w’urukundo,” uva ku rutoki ukagera ku mutima. Guhuza impeta n’uru rutoki byafatwaga nk’umuhango wera.

No muri iki gihe, impeta z’isezerano ziracyafite ubu butumwa bwimbitse bwo kugaragaza urukundo n’ubumwe.

Ikindi kinyuranyo gishimishije, mu bihugu byinshi by’i Burayi, abashakanye bambara impeta ku kuboko kw’iburyo aho ku kw’imoso. Bamwe babisobanura bavuga ko ku kuboko kw’iburyo impeta yangirika gake kuko abantu benshi bakoresha iburyo cyane.

Mu gihe cyo kongera kuvuka k’Ubuvanganzo (Renaissance), haje impeta zidasanzwe zikoranywe ubuhanga bwinshi. Imwe mu zakunzwe cyane ni gimmel ring, yakorwaga mu mpeta ebyiri zihuza zikaba imwe. Mbere y’ubukwe, buri mukunzi yambaraga igice kimwe cya ya mpeta. Ku munsi w’ubukwe, umugabo yahuzaga ibisate byombi akabishyira ku rutoki rw’umugeni, bikaba ikimenyetso cy’uko bahujwe.

Ibi bihe byazanye kandi poesy rings, zari impeta z’ifeza zandikwagaho interuro ngufi z’urukundo. Mu yindi mico naho hahise havuka imigenzo itandukanye. Urugero:

Mu Buhinde, impeta y’urutoki rw’akaguru izwi nka bichiya yabaye ikimenyetso cy’ubutashe.

Ubu, impeta z’amadiyama ni umuco uzwi ku rwego rw’isi. Diyama ni kimwe mu bintu bikomeye cyane ku isi, bikaba ikimenyetso cy’urukundo rudashira. Mu miryango myinshi, impeta z’amadiyama ziragurishwa zimaze igihe zarambawe n’umuntu runaka, mu miryango cyangwa umuntu ku giti cye akayigura igiciro kinini, maze zikaba urwibutso rw’urukundo rw’abo hambere.

Ikintu giteye amatsiko ni uko mu myaka myinshi, abagore bonyine ari bo bambaraga impeta z’ubukwe. Mu Ntambara ya Kabiri y’Isi, abagabo batangiye kwambara impeta kugira ngo bibuke abagore babo bari basize mu rugo. Uyu muco waje gukura uba umuco rusange.

Nubwo uburyo impeta zikoze bwahindutse uko imyaka ihita, igisobanuro cyazo nticyahindutse. Impeta y’ubukwe ihagarariye ubudahemuka, ubumwe n’isezerano ry’ibihe byose. Niba ari ntoya cyangwa ikomeye, buri mpeta ivuga inkuru y’urukundo. Inkuru yatangiriye mu Misiri ya kera ikaba ikomeje no ku bashakanye b’iki gihe, igakomeza gusigasira urukundo. Kuri ubu impeta ifatwa nk’ikimenyetso cyo kubahwa hagati y’abashakanye ndetse n’abateganya kuzabana bahana impeta (proposal) nk’icyimenyetso kivuze byinshi.
