half-asleep eyes open to a dreamlike world of blossoms

a moment of happiness

“Glissando” – an abstract orchestral–ambient soundscape with a cinematic edge.  
Blending real instruments and string samples, it evokes the mood of a modern trailer soundtrack: immersive, expansive, and atmospheric.


For this haiku:
naviarhaiku613

Star above the peak -
a silk worm-breeding village
silently asleep

Disquiet Junto Project 0718: Planet Jam It. The Assignment: Record the sound of an advanced alien civilization.

This recording was made in 2126 as part of Krakenkraft Interstellar Inc.'s ARP (Audio Reconnaissance Program), and its significance is only now being fully understood. We are most probably hearing the dream singers of Yith, a mentally time-traveling civilization. Unfortunately, despite intensive AI efforts, the drone's engine noise could not be removed, for which they have apologized repeatedly. Unfortunately, we do not know what happened before and after radio contact was lost...

The coming of autumn
determined
by a red dragonfly

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.
