Explanation

Question:
Does the word NEW, or FIRST, alwayd denote
the new year season and is a kigo?

Answer:
NO.
There are many other New and First activities and things throughout the year.

I will try and find some here.

First things often start with HATSU ...
or end in .... SOME / ZOME.

HAIKU


子宝や棒をひくのも吉書始
kodakara ya boo o hiku no mo kissho hajime

treasured child--
his cane dragging
the year's first writing

Instead of using a brush, the child draws a character on a larger scale--in mud or snow. Shinji Ogawa, who helped with this translation, notes, "It is a Japanese custom to write with a writing brush on the second day of the year."
