🇯🇵 Write Your First Haiku! (Online Trial Event) ✍️ 俳句をつくろう！

A small observation. A Japanese word you love. A season on your mind.

Turn it into your first 俳句 (haiku) in this friendly online trial event. No previous poetry-writing experience needed—just curiosity.

A teacher will introduce the basics, simple rules, and practical writing tips, including 季語 (kigo)—a seasonal word often used in haiku. You’ll explore concise Japanese expression and work toward writing an original haiku at your own pace.

Put a few words on the page

• Try haiku for the first time in a low-pressure setting

• Pick up Japanese vocabulary through creative writing

• Explore the world of Japanese poetry, including haiku and tanka (短歌)

• Enjoy a space for language exchange and personal expression

A good fit if…

You can read hiragana and katakana, can greet someone in Japanese, or simply want to get closer to Japanese poetry. Bring your interest in words, nature, seasons, or a moment you’d like to capture.
