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.”

Naviar Broadcast #344 - Fog clears away... – Wednesday 6th November 2024

"A Brief Love Affair"
Valhjim

Like bright drizzle from above, the day opens with gentle low tones: clouds open in sine waves, bass leisurely strolls about, sound waves echo in the distance. The future is here. Brief encounter that leads to intimacy, where the night opens and the stars appear overhead to eavesdrop on human love. Whispers in the dusk. Tender touch.
