I’m also launching a branch of the Kigo
Lab Project :
+logo.tiff)
Where fresh new approaches may be made in the experiment of
certain well-known words and phrases within the English language, which have
potential into being utilised, even evolving, into Japanese style kigo over
time.
This is a long term project,
and I’m aware that kigo outside Japan could take anything from decades to
hundreds of years. If it’s not started we will never find out if such a thing
as a modern source of local/regional/national/global kigo can be made available
for writers within the haikai genre, and prove useful to other genre writers.
I am not necessarily looking for nature poems, but haiku
that successfully embrace today’s culture and an awareness of where we come
from.
Season words, and the Japanese kigo system, are not only
derived from observations of nature, they can allude to a country’s historical,
cultural and literary past that hint or suggest a time of year.
Kisetsu:
The
seasonal aspect of the vocabulary (kigo) and subject matter (kidai) of
traditional tanka, renga, and haiku; a deep feeling for the passage of time, as
known through the objects and events of the seasonal cycle.
