In Matsuyama, haiku is deeply woven into everyday life and urban culture and is actively shared both within Japan and internationally, making the city a uniquely important source of modern haiku culture. Drawing inspiration from seasonal landscapes and historic settings, participants compose, share, and receive commentary on English-language haiku.
