The coming of autumn determined by a red dragonfly

by: Kaya Shirao

Kaya Shirao was born in 1738 in Fukagawa, Edo, now part of Tokyo.
He ran a school in Edo during Spring and Autumn, but in Summer and Winter, he would move to the countryside to teach thousands of aspiring poets from throughout the Shinano province (now Nagano Prefecture). He's considered one of the first established haikai writers to help spread cultural forms from national to regional urban centers.

whenever we meet (Naviarhaiku 616)

A reworking for this track in my archive originally created in autumn 2024, after a few versions in the last year i  find it fits well with the context of Haiku Music Challenge Naviarhaiku 617



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

by: Saitō Sanki



Saitō Sanki (1900 – 1962) was a dentist who discovered his passion for haiku poetry in his mid-thirties, when his colleagues at the hospital in Soto Kanda convinced him to write a haiku for a collection. Later, he became one of the most important exponents of wartime haiku: he was imprisoned in 1940 during the government’s World War II persecution of controversial artists, and was officially forbidden to write until the end of the war.

almost black
deepening purple
ripe grapes

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.”
