Is climate change killing the haiku?
by Sayumi Take (NikkeiAsia, March 2023)
 
Etsuya Hirose, a professional haiku poet was quoted:
“. . .try finding a new form of expression or diversity within this reality of warmer days.” They were worried that “diversity in haiku will be lost” and we might not “really empathize with [certain] kigo, [and] that season and emotion.”
 
Sayumi Take stated:
". . .climate change is seeping into our tradition and culture and irreversibly transforming it.”

"Let’s embrace both urban and natural seasonal shifts in social habits, movements, and weather patterns, after all, haiku has gone through many challenges during social upheavals on a global scale before since Masaoka Shiki (October 14, 1867 – September 19, 1902) started coining the word 'haiku' back in the 1890s." Alan Summers, September 2023
