What is haiku?
Haiku is a Japanese form of standardized poetry based on seasonal words and a formula of five, seven, and five syllables. In the Edo period, haiku were called 17-character poems, and in modern times they are also written with 17 syllables.1 Haiku often express a sense of the seasons, nature, scenery, and human emotions, and although they are short poems, they have a deep meaning.
