Haiku
Contest Overview |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Over the past 150 years, Japanese and American have exchanged many
aspects of each others culture: anime, sushi, music, and clothing
are but a few examples. HAIKU, a brief, nature-based poem originating
in Japan, is one of the most widely known aspects of Japanese culture
adopted by Americans.
To commemorate this anniversary, the Japan-US 150 Committee and
the Haiku Society
of America are sponsoring an online haiku contest in the following
age categories:
- 7-10
- 11-14
- 5-18
- Adults (19 and over)
|
|
 |
| Haiku Contest is part of the US-Japan 150th
Anniversary project |

 |
| Haiku and illustration by Stephen
Addiss, Tucker-Boatwright Professor of Humanities and Professor
of Art, University of Richmond |
