Haiku

It has been over ten years since I started learning haiku.。Raise the temperature a little for a while、With a collection of poems by haiku poets in hand、There was a time when I was self-centered and devised various ideas.。Maybe it's because I'm busy、It feels like the fever has cooled down recently.、is。

Many haiku lovers post their poems in the haiku sections of media outlets such as NHK and major newspapers.、Buy a magazine that summarizes them every month、I joined a so-called haiku society.、Improve your skills at haiku gatherings, etc.。As for joining the society, I have a bit of a desire to join.、The origin and lineage of some societies、I have researched haiku style etc.。In the end, I don't do any of those things.、It is "a small convention in the world of haiku"、It doesn't seem to fit my personality or aspirations.、That's all there is to it。(*For example, I think there is some disagreement as to whether Kaneko Kabuta's haiku world is "small" or not.)

What are the conventions in the world of haiku?、I have always felt that it is important not to cause trouble (not to break the harmony).。When we think of flowers, we mean cherry blossoms.、If it's cherry blossoms, it's neat.、It's gorgeously decided、The ephemerality of dying、beauty、Converging words into a fixed image of cleanliness。Haiku is the skill of combining words in the process of convergence.、In other words, it's a very technical game.、The dimensions of the goal frame have been determined exactly.、It's a word game。17Almost 5 of the characters are consumed by "season words"、Only 12 characters left。In order to draw an image (within the promised range) using these 12 characters, we have no choice but to ``paste'' the ``as-is''.。Seasonal words act as strong adhesives for “pasting”、Haiku is created by leaning against this adhesive.。

In one word、I'm getting tired of this "cooperative game"。The world of painting is not a game。Always be aware of the difference between yourself and others、You have to muster up the courage and pull yourself out in front of others (the world).、It's a world that doesn't allow you to escape.。There are no promises whatsoever。techniques etc.、It's just one element there、sometimes even a hindrance。

Empathy is the lifeblood of haiku.、It can be said that。All art other than haiku、In fact, it cannot exist without empathy.、That is not to say that we are not preconditionally seeking empathy.。But、What about haiku that doesn't seek sympathy?。Although it may not be called haiku anymore.、Is it possible that it exists as a short poem-type tweet?。for me、Haiku is becoming something like that.。
