If the poet didn't say he felt forlorn on an autumn evening, then he was. Betraying the poetic art, according to the critic. The author withdrew the poem. Mentions the other kigo which were meant to indicate that the poet felt forlorn.

Kawamoto takes off from this anecdote for a general discussion of the emotional effects meant by. That's something I've wanted to know for a long time. A later chapter is on poetic meter, or mora. This brings to mind the art of Seishi Yamaguchi. Much praised for his rhythm.

The'mora' of the Japanese language are larger than the onji/jion. Traditionally used to describe the haiku-- the lines 5, 7 and 5 so often given as defining haiku. Mora are described metrical speech units covering whole 5 or 7 onji segments.

Make each segment identical in how long it takes to say them. This book is not for the beginning student of haiku. The target audience is the advanced student. Working on his own or as part of a college class in Japanese poetry.
