Topics and Keywords - BACKUP


Words with no explicit seasonal context used in haiku have been labeled in many ways：

keywords, non-seasonal topics, all-season topics,
miscellaneous haiku: zakku 雑句; zappai　雑俳
haiku without a season word : muki, mu-ki,
無季, 無季の句, 無季俳句 ...
"free format haiku" as used by the Shiki Monthly Kukai
context-setting words, cultural keywords

... problematic terms (these should NOT be used):
all season kigo, all year kigo (!), quite a contradiction in terms, since KI 季 means season.
... "muki kigo" "no-season season word", "seasonless season word"
"muki-kigo" "non-season season word" (!) ...


. Welcome to the
Haiku Topics of the World Kigo Database!



The following is a backup of the topics and keywords collected in the yahoo list.
