Topical Saijiki Preparations

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

.. .. .. .. .. .. Topical Saijiki and Kiyose

Special areas of the world or special topics deserve their own saijiki.

Here in our database we will take two steps in preparing such material.


... ... ... First Step
prepare a list of these kigo (kiyose) for your area or topic according to the Seasons and Categories and the template given below. The template is for the northern hemisphere.
There will be different templates for the tropics (see the KENYA and Tropical Saijiki ) and other regions.
The list can be updated at any time, I suggest we start with 10 kigo as the lowest limit for a topical saijiki.

Do not use any boxes or special formatting in your presentation.


SEASONS
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and the New Year.
Each season comes in four sections: early, middle, late and all the three of them.

SIX CATEGORIES
Season, Heaven, Earth, Humanity, Observances, Animals and Plants.

In this file, you can also add some general links to introduce your area or topic in more detail.



... ... ... Second step
prepare the individual entries for a kigo, as stated here in
ENTRY: Preparing your Entry for a Kigo

The entries will then be linked to the kiyose and to our general index. There are no deadlines for doing any of this. Take your time and enjoy the process while you do it!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

For Kenya and the tropics, I started a separate BLOG, since this material is hopefully going to grow and is then easier to handle.
If anyone has a better idea with the online proceedings or would offer his/her help with preparing HTM files, you are most welcome!

Discussion on this subject is welcome!

............................... TEMPLATE
Copy it and fill in the relevant items, nof formatted is better for later processing.
I will later add colors for the background as in the Saijiki for Buddhist Events .
