This original version of "If We Met Under Different Chirographs” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 619: Almost Black.

by: Masaoka Shiki

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

If We Met Under Different Chirographs (naviarhaiku619)

I came across this poem in the book "An Anthology of Haiku, Ancient and Modern" by Asataro Miyamori. The poet’s surname and the publication date are unknown; only the name Kinsha remains.

a procession of ants,
without end.

Haiku by Santoka Taneda

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
