Haiku in English

The Mainichi Daily News invites you to submit your new and previously unpublished haiku, which are not restricted to any style, but which should preferably contain a seasonal element.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

To send us your haiku, please click here for the submission form.

Announcement: The results of the 13th annual Mainichi Haiku Contest are in! For information on the winning haiku, please click here.
