The Mainichi Daily News invites you to submit your new and previously unpublished haiku, which are not restricted to any style, but which should preferably contain a seasonal element.

The submissions are reviewed by the Museum of Haiku Literature's Isamu Hashimoto, whose selections are published in the Mainichi Daily News every day except Sunday. Once a month, Mr. Hashimoto presents two published haiku for your enjoyment - one Japanese classic, including both a Romanized transcription and an English translation, and one English-language classic.
