Spring morning light (shungyoo)

***** Location: Japan, worldwide
***** Season: All Spring
***** Category: Season

*****************************
Explanation

Already in the Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon we read:
"Spring is the best for the morning dawn!"

akebono is the older usage, later akatsuki was used.
But AKEBONO just like that is not a kigo, but a topic for haiku. The below examples have a different kigo to go with the DAWN.

The sky gets light slowly and we can begin to distinguish things around us again.


spring morning light, spring dawn, shungyoo
春暁 (しゅんぎょう)
..... haru no akatsuki 春の暁（はるのあかつき）
spring dawn, haru no akebono 春の曙（はるのあけぼの）
..... shunsho 春曙（しゅんしょ）

daybreak in spring, haru no yoake
春の夜明（はるのよあけ）
.... haru no asake 春の朝明（はるのあさけ）

..........................................

spring morning, haru no asa 春の朝 はるのあさ
..... shunnchoo 春朝（しゅんちょう）
..... haru ashita 春あした（はるあした）
