Pilu is Indian evergreen raga, which uses all the chromatic notes, which all the notes have visitation rights. Pilu raga is performed late afternoon before sunset.

Mishra is a word from Sanskrit that means mixed, which allows tremendous scope for the artist to bring in melodic lines from other ragas. Mishra Pilu raga is full of devotion and piety by expressing the mesmerizing mix of emotions, which are an eternal source for human emotions: joy and sadness, longing, tenderness.

My intention was to create slow motion changes, which on the one hand are based on very strict patterns, and on the other hand – can hardly be noticeable.

Katō Kyōtai was a poet from Nagoya who entered the world of haikai in 1759. His work shares with Buson a careful observation, not just of nature itself, but also of the complex emotions and reactions that characterize human existence.

Little song forSaitō Sanki haiku:

"An autumn nightfall
the skeleton of a huge fish
drawn back by the sea."

I translate the title to my language, catalan. "Drawn back by the sea" is "Arrossegat per la mar" on my island. In Catalonia, they say: "Arrossegat pel mar". The Balearic form is more poetic for me.

Little song for Kjmunro haiku:

"The harp player
moves under cover
market day."

"Mercat" is the word "Market" in my language. This is my market of my little island.

Mercat (naviarhaiku618)

the harp player
moves under cover
