Haiku of the Shiki School

Compiled, translated and illustrated by Mrs. Helen Shigeko Isaacson.


Digitally published with express permission of the author. This publication has the enormous advantage over the other works of Mrs. Isaacson, in that one can pick out just one part and ponder over it, being helped by the comments. Theory is hidden, so to say. After the ordinal number follows the author of the ku, the kigo, the season and the general category, like living beings, things belonging to the sky,like rain, clouds, snow etc. So in #3 we have Shiki as the author (spelled as Siki), the uiguisu, bush warbler, as the kigo or season-word; the season is haru, spring and doobutu (doo-butsu) means living beings. The comment showing the spirit of our day and age, which Mrs. Isaacson tries to counteract with her works, which buy the way, can all be found through www.archive.org using the keywords: haiku and isaacson. Ascension of Christ, 2010
