This is a recital of the Bilingual Haiku Scroll, a Web page that has been used in university classes in the U.S. and Japan. All of these haiku have been published, both in Japanese and in English, including by UNESCO and the national Asahi newspaper. Recently a haiku journal editor in the U.S. wrote that these are the best haiku that he has read in many years. The Web page includes the Chinese characters, Romanizations for studying Japanese as a Foreign Language, and the English version of each poem. The bilingual concept and nature of haiku are also briefly explained. For more on the haiku genre see this
haiku journal article. Open the colorful Bilingual Haiku Scroll in another browser window to read it while listening
here. Use your eyes, ears and imagination to learn and grow.
