Black Card (English, Spanish and Japanese Edition) The latest haiku collection BLACK CARD by Ban ya Natsuishi leaves no doubt in our minds that the poet is successful in confronting the inner and external realities. These poems reveal the bitter truth and realities of the new millennium. Ban ya as a haiku poet is not confined and restricted to nature and season-word. Ban ya aptly remarks: I believe that haiku poem can be written well without season words, written well in free form and not only in 5-7-5 syllables. Sayumi Kamakura too points out that sincerity of emotion is more important than using season words: Season words are still merely words. As long as they are words, then the emotions the author attempts to convey with them should take precedence over the words themselves. The Japanese haiku that has touched me are those where the author's true sentiments burst from the words. What is most important in haiku is how much true feeling is included in the poem".
Editorial Review Ban’ya Natsuishi has widened the territory of haiku by writing haiku concerned with human condition. He is not confined to nature or season-word. Ban’ya wisely points out: “On the other hand, there are muki haiku, non-seasonal poem, whose keywords are not connected to seasonal aspects. It is a new style of expression in contemporary haiku. Freed from seasonal limitations, contemporary muki haiku have been enriched and expanded with keywords that indicate all living things (animals, plants, and any natural phenomenon), human beings themselves and the culture created by human beings (the body, human relations, family, culture)”. |
