Words with no explicit seasonal context used in haiku have been labeled in many ways：

keywords, non-seasonal topics, all-season topics,
miscellaneous haiku: zakku 雑句; zappai　雑俳
haiku without a season word : muki, mu-ki,
無季, 無季の句, 無季俳句 ...
"free format haiku" as used by the Shiki Monthly Kukai
context-setting words, cultural keywords

... problematic terms (these should NOT be used):
all season kigo, all year kigo (!), quite a contradiction in terms, since KI 季 means season.
... "muki kigo" "no-season season word", "seasonless season word"
"muki-kigo" "non-season season word" (!) ...


... add your definition ... :o)


A word of caution:
Words introduced in ALL YEAR or MISCELLANEOUS sections of a saijiki are not kigo, but all-year haiku topics.

Here is a discussion about the use of "all year haiku topics", NOT "all year kigo", listed in "Haiku World" :
non-seasonal topics by Bill Higginson

Poetry is for poets,
classifications for editors and scholars.


If you combine a haiku topic with a kigo, you get one big step closer to a traditional Japanese haiku !

Without, your poem might read more like a Senryu, Zappai, others ... .

Many groups now accept "haiku without kigo" (muki haiku), so you have to check with your group, editor or haiku teacher for details of classifications and definitions.
We also have poetic categories like "short poetry in the Japanese style", "short lyrics", "free verse" and many more.

micropoetry
twaiku, twihaiku (twitter haiku, twitter poetry)

The Healing Spirit of Haiku
David H. Rosen, Joel Weishaus, Arthur Okamura

For David H. Rosen and Joel Weishaus, haiku represents a healing union of intuition and sensation, past and present, self and other, ordinary and extraordinary, and current and ancient memories. In this simple, compelling book, the authors, who have lived and traveled extensively in Japan, offer 172 haikus that resonate with Zen Buddhist, Shinto, and Taoist insights. Underscoring the philosophy "moments, moments, that is life," the book takes readers beyond the ego into a healing realm of simple, archetypal words.
This book is a haibun of psyche, an exchange of poetry and prose between two old friends who set out to accomplish a soulful journey together.

The Breath of Surrender:
A Collection of Recovery-Oriented Haiku
edited by Robert Epstein, Published by MET Press

In The Breath of Surrender, haiku poet and psychotherapist Robert Epstein brings together the haiku and recovery communities, whose unique perspectives expand our appreciation of the world within and around us. Whether new to, or widely traveled on, the path of recovery, readers will discover new wholes in their lives sparked by the courage, strength and hope in these inspiring poems.

Baltimore, Maryland November 4, 2009
The Breath of Surrender: A Collection of Recovery-Oriented Haiku edited by Robert Epstein has been published as a trade paperback by MET Press of Baltimore, Maryland. Often described as
"wordless" due to its brevity and directness, haiku poetry highlights, and celebrates, our often unseen connection with nature.
Recovery from the hell realms of addiction: alcohol, drugs, sex, shopping, over-eating, makes possible a reunion with life and one's fellow beings.

In The Breath of Surrender he first collection of its kind Haiku poet and psychotherapist Robert Epstein brings together the haiku and recovery communities, whose unique perspectives
expand our appreciation of the world within and around us. Whether new to, or widely traveled on, the path of recovery, readers will discover new wholes in their lives sparked by the courage, strength and hope in the inspiring poems that fill these pages.

"The addicted brain is a museum of distorted pictures. Recovery brings forth a new framing of images that is well-captured in this unique collection of poems.
Those at every stage of recovery can hang these poetic images on the mental walls that have been left so bare by addiction."
Fred Von Stieff, MD, MBA,

There is a Zen story about
how a single breath can free us
from the confines of our intellectualizing
and unite us with all creation.

Tokusan was a brilliant scripture scholar who went to study with Zen Master Ryutan.
One night as Tokusan was leaving to go home to bed after a long evening of discussion, he noticed that it was pitch black outside. Zen master Ryutan lit a lantern and handed it to Tokusan. Just as Tokusan reached for the lantern, Ryutan blew it out.

In that moment, Tokusan experienced enlightenment and bowed in gratitude.

Tokusan realized that he was not dependent upon words and teachings to light the way for him. Even in times of darkness, he could experience his essential nature directly and be a lamp unto himself.

quote
Shoma Morita, founder of Morita therapy,
and haiku poet Shiki:
origin of Morita therapy.

A hypothesis that Shiki's struggle for life probably influenced the creation of Morita therapy is presented. Although Morita had no personal acquaintance with Shiki, they did have three common friends in Terada, Wakao and Katori. Considering this, as well as the renown of Shiki's works, Morita likely knew much of Shiki and may have been deeply impressed by his approach to life. Several essential concepts of Morita therapy such as absolute bed-rest, anguish and deliverance,
"Aru ga mama," "Jijitsu Yuishin," desire to live, and
the importance of keeping a diary can be found in Shiki's lifestyle and in his literary theory.

Shiinji Ogawa helped me understand this brutal haiku:
that sooner or later the first butterfly (or butterflies) will be eaten by a crow (crows).

quote
By ROGER PULVERS

Japanese artistry, by design,
melds time and space into all its creations
Among the greatest of Japan's gifts to the world is surely the gift of design.

..... From the time Japan opened its doors to the outside world at the end of the feudal Edo Period (1603-1868) — after more than 200 years in which it was a capital offence to leave or enter the country without authority from the very highest level — people in Europe, America and China, in particular, became bewitched by the culture of Japan.

This was because they saw how Japanese culture brilliantly combined the abstract design of scale and the passage of time itself with a level of mastery in technique that had not been seen before. Indeed, to me, Japanese design is no less than design of space and time itself. This may sound rather obtuse, so let me explain.
.....
One feature of Japanese aesthetics that redesigns time is totsuzensa (suddenness).
Japanese culture is full of the unexpected, the unpredictable. In the traditional performing arts of kabuki and bunraku it can take the form of an instant transformation from one state or form to another — as when one character becomes another, such as a ghost. In ukiyo-e (woodblock prints), it is often evident in the poses and grimaces in the scene, capturing an unexpected instant of high drama.

The art of the haiku, too, which has become a universal symbol of Japanese emotional expression, beautifully illustrates the design of space and time in the engineering of scale.

Consider Issa Kobayashi's (1763-1827) haiku that jumps from the face of a traveler to the sky above:

Asleep with a fan
Across the face
The moon on the sea

Another poet who, in his haiku, presents startling images that redesign the spatial relationship between things was Shiki Masaoka (1867-1902). What is big? What is small? It all depends on your perspective and your personal viewpoint.

Sometimes, Shiki would present a spatial stretch of the imagination, but always in the presence of nature:

The snail is enticing
Rain clouds
With its antennae

Or sometimes he would offer a painterly scene in which the changing light plays a part:

Locusts buzz
The paths between the rice fields
As the daylight dims

Another characteristic of Japanese aesthetics, as is so sublimely evident in the following two haiku by Shiki, is the manipulation of color in order to achieve incongruity, contrast in scale and visual starkness:

The mountains in summer
All creation green ...
But a red bridge

And:

Hydrangeas
Pale blue in the rain
Bright blue under the moon

I would define haiku as "the redesign of space and time in 17 syllables."
By redesigning space in this way, Japanese culture places humans (including us who read the haiku, view the picture or observe the performance) properly in nature, as one small element with a highly personal viewpoint.

Only art can slow or prolong the ticking of the clock and allow people to appreciate their place in the scheme of the world; and Japanese art has demonstrated this ability in ways no other civilization has done.

Famous places in Edo

Ukiyo-e ni miru Edo no meisho.
Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1993.

From Kyôhô period on to Meiji, there were three kabuki theatres, the “sanza,” of which the two oldest, Nakamura-za and Ichimura-za, were located along the single street of Sakai-chô Fukiya-chô (now Ningyô-chô 3-chôme).
(The Morita-za was in Kobiki-chô, some 2.5 km to the south, and rarely appeared in meisho-e.)

Here Masanobu shows us the view from the Sakai-chô end, with the Nakamura-za on the right; the play on the kanban here enables dating of the keikan to early spring (shoshun) Enkyô 2 (1745). Further down on the same side in Fukiya-chô is the Ichimuraza, and on the left are three ayatsuri-ningyô-koya. Some eight years later, Eisen shows the same place but from the opposite direction, with Ichimura-za on the front left, an ayatsuri-za on the right, and Nakamura-za in the distance.
The time is now autumn, at kaomise. It is intriguing to compare the two views to see what has changed, what has not.

Ten-odd years after Eisen’s print, on 10/7 of Tenpô 12 (1841), the Sakai-chô Fukiya-chô shibai-machi was destroyed by fire, and Mizuno Tadakuni, who had begun the Tenpô no kaikaku just five months before, refused to permit rebuilding on the same site. As a result, a new shibai-machi named Saruwaka-chô was constructed north of Asakusa Kannon, shown here by Hiroshige II in a view showing the three theaters in order of seniority on the west side of the machi: Nakamura, Ichimura, and Morita.

Sakai is a name given to many towns and villages in Japan, which are situated at a border, to another domain or village or region.


Sakai (堺市, Sakai-shi)
is a city in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It has been one of the largest and most important seaports of Japan since the Medieval era.
Sakai is known for its keyhole-shaped burial mounds, or kofun, which date from the 5th century. The largest of these, Daisen Kofun, is believed to be the grave of the Emperor Nintoku and is the largest grave in the world by area. Once known for samurai swords, Sakai is now famous for the quality of its kitchen knives; most high-quality Japanese cutlery originates in Sakai, and its production is a major industry in the city.

In the Muromachi Period Sakai was one of richest cities in Japan. Sakai is located on the edge of Osaka Bay and at the mouth of the Yamato River, which connected the Yamato Province (now Nara Prefecture) to the sea. Sakai thus helped to connect foreign trade with inland trade.

Sakai was an autonomous city run by merchant citizens. In those days it was said that the richest cities were Umi no Sakai, Riku no Imai (tr. "along the sea, Sakai; inlands, Imai"; The latter is now a part of Kashihara, Nara). The famous Zen Buddhist priest Ikkyu chose to live in Sakai because of its free atmosphere. In the Sengoku Period some Christian priests, including St. Francis Xavier in 1550, visited Sakai and documented its prosperity.

Sen no Rikyū, known as the greatest master of the tea ceremony, was originally a merchant of Sakai. Because of the close relationship between the tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism, and because of the prosperity of its citizens, Sakai was one of the main centers of the tea ceremony in Japan.

Udatsu nomachinami　うだつの街並み
Streets Featuring Udatsu

Streets featuring 'udatsu' may be seen in the town of Waki, Tokushima. The Agency of Cultural Affairs has designated these streets as Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Historic Buildings in Japan. In addition, The Ministry of Construction has selected these streets to be included among 100 (Famous) Streets of Japan and 100 (Famous) Urban Landscapes.

Udatsu are the white-plastered parts above the first floor of the houses, and were originally built to act as firewalls between each house. However, they slowly took on a more decorative function, becoming increasingly gorgeous. Eventually, roof tiles came to cover the plaster.

Fine udatsu were created for the houses of merchants around the Kansai area. The proverb 'Can’t build up the udatsu' comes from these udatsu.

To preserve these streets, the town of Waki followed national regulations for urban scenery in 1998, which led to Waki's streets being selected as the 28th Urban Landscape of Japan by The Agency of Cultural Affairs.

These streets featuring udatsu have a calm and nostalgic feel that makes you think of everyday life in Edo times.

quote
Udatsu is built on the edge of the roof of the house.
It shows that the family who can build Udatsu is richer than other families, because it costs a lot of money to built Udatsu on their roof.

In the Edo era, there were so many fires throughout the city. Once a fire started up, it was not easy to extinguish. Udatsu was used to solve this problem, to prevent fires from spreading, yet it takes a lot of money to build Udatsu.

Also, the word Udatsu is the source of the saying
“Udatsu ga agaranai.”
Literally meaning “unable to raise Udatsu,”
it is an expression that means someone is not active or vigorous in their life style and economic performances.

The old streets of Udatsu: the symbol of wealth and advancement of life.
