North America Saijiki

The North American Saijiki Project

Maybe in 100 years time, we might celebrate the

Great American Haiku Heritage Saijiki!

(I invented this word in September 2007.)
I hope the Haiku Society of America will support such a project.


North America is a large continent.

The World Kigo Database is trying to establish saijiki for different parts of it.
Rather then struggeling with unfamiliar Japanese kigo, go ahead and pick up your local regional items !

If you want to introduce your own region in greater detail, please feel free to contact me to establish your own area saijiki. It takes time and effort and then more time, but maybe, you are onto something.... The Japanese Saijiki was not written in one week either ... smile ..
