575: Classical Haiku

575 gives you one classical Japanese haiku each day — and the reading behind it. A haiku is short enough to cross a language in seconds, and easy to lose in the crossing. What survives translation is usually the image. What does not is the season it belongs to, the word that carries that season, and the space the poem deliberately leaves empty. 575 keeps those. Each haiku arrives with the original Japanese, its sound in romaji, a plain English reading, and a short piece on how the poem is received in Japan — what is named, what is withheld, and what you are left to finish yourself. Four centuries, 365 poems. Bashō, Issa, Buson, Shiki, and others, chosen so that a year of reading moves with the year itself.
