There are traditional haiku that meet the two conditions described, and “avant-garde” ones that do not.
Although it was considered acceptable to include multiple season words in the same haiku through the Edo period (1603–1868), in the modern era that became viewed as unorthodox, and the standard now is to use just one kigo. In many cases, the kigo happens to have become associated with a season due to longstanding custom, and the saijiki acts as a guide to such conventions. For example, the “moon” ( tsuki) is categorized as an autumn word, while “flower” ( hana), taken as referring to cherry blossoms, is classified as a spring word. Poets often consult a saijiki dictionary, which collects and categorizes these season words. In the world of haiku, there are words associated with specific seasons, known as kigo. One beat fewer, also possible, is known as jitarazu, although this tends to be more unusual. Writers may opt to have one extra beat in a section, which is referred to as jiamari. However, haiku are not required to stick rigidly to this pattern. For example, Bashō’s famous haiku begins furu ike ya, which could be represented musically as five notes: ♩♩♩♩♩. The 5-7-5 form refers to the number of beats in each section. In Japanese, they must typically meet the following conditions. Individual PerspectiveĬharacteristic for their brevity, haiku developed initially in the Japanese language. In this article, I will examine the nature and history of the form. Even so, few people can precisely define what haiku are. The poem of the frog and the pond is representative not only of the works of Matsuo Bashō (1644–94) but also of haiku themselves, and has made Bashō internationally known. Japan’s haiku have spread around the world, and poets are composing adaptations of the form in a multitude of languages. 14 followed by a third and final landfall in the mainland of southern China.Furu ike ya / kawazu tobikomu / mizu no oto A second landfall is expected over China’s Hainan Island on Nov.
