In these workshops, Japanese haiku poet Ms. Sho Otaka will teach how to write haiku using one to three lines of 17 or fewer syllables, as well as explaining how kigo - words or phrases that symbolize the season of the poem, have a role in haiku poetry and Japanese language. (It would be great if you can think of a word, image, etc. related to fall/winter that you want to use to create your own haiku before you come to this workshop!)
