Naviar Lab Contributions 2018

For many of us the Spring season has finally arrived, so this week I selected a haiku by Zen Buddhist master Soen Nakagawa, mostly known for being a seminal figure in spreading interest in Zen to the West.

Takahama Kyoshi was a Japanese poet active during the Shōwa period of Japan. He was the editor of the haiku magazine Hototogisu (previously edited by Shiki), where he promoted a more traditional style of haiku, as opposed to other popular schools which did not follow the pattern of seventeen syllables at that time. Kyoshi also highlighted the symbolic function of the kigo (the season word), even though the more modern trends were already tending towards season-less haiku.
