Naviar Broadcast #387 – An autumn nightfall – Wednesday 12th November 2025

almost black
deepening purple
ripe grapes

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 #388 – The harp player – Wednesday 19th November 2025

some starlight
spared from being scooped up
four-handed net

I came across this poem in the book "An Anthology of Haiku, Ancient and Modern" by Asataro Miyamori. The poet’s surname and the publication date are unknown; only the name Kinsha remains.
