Haiku Workshop

Workshop

Haiku poetry is an essential aspect of Japanese culture and language and has gained popularity outside Japan as well. In this workshop, Japanese haiku poet Ms. Sho Otaka will teach students how to write haiku using one to three lines of 17 or fewer syllables, as well as explain how kigo, words or phrases that symbolize the season of the poem, have a role in haiku poetry and Japanese language.

This workshop will be conducted in Japanese with an interpreter.
