by Takai Kito

The author of the week is Takai Kito, a disciple of Yosa Buson. Despite becoming a professional haikai master in 1771, Kito remained one of Buson’s most trusted disciples until the death of the great master and was the de facto coordinator of Buson’s haikai group.

Edited, mixed & mastered on 28 Mar 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, USA.

This piece uses a 1928 recording by the Capet String Quartet of Ravel’s string quartet (Col. D 15057-60).

The original source is the Internet Archive:

Process notes –

This is more like “already fallen apart” vs “listen to it fall apart.” I cut the recording into 6 pieces and did something different with each. Some granulation, some feedback loops, some stretching, some chops, lots of bouncing down.

Organ & effects

Process notes –

For this piece, I first took some photos of the red backyard deck that I have access to. I record much of my music out there in the summer. I planned to go outside today and record this but instead started the day by playing with some lazy organ sounds indoors. I used one of my photographs as a graphic score, reading top to bottom. Generally, when we get to knots or imperfections in the wood, I introduced more probability of notes and randomness. I introduced this again a bit near the end, to keep the piece moving and the composition a little more balanced.

This original version of “Flapping Coagulabilities” was submitted as part of Naviar Haiku 585: A Splash Of Colour

a splash of colour
cherry tree petals drifting
silently falling

by: Marc Sheridan

Marc Sheridan is an ever-curious person who loves what is just around the corner: the unusual and the mysterious. Even everyday objects and scenes can always be viewed differently.

He is English but currently living in the US, and he always remembers what Ansel Adams once said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Marc believes that photography rewards him with a greater connection to everything around him.

Lately, Marc has been writing haiku, but he’s not sure whether he illustrates his photos with haiku or reveals his haiku through photography.

He has been published in numerous magazines in the US and the UK and has exhibited up and down the West Coast of the US for the past 23 years.

heaven and earth:
neither exists apart from
snow fluttering down

by: Kajiwara Hashin

Kajiwara Hashin was born in 1864 and studied under Kyoshi. Although Hashin is not very well-known as a poet, this particular haiku that he wrote is quite popular worldwide: it was first translated by Miyamori Asataro and later by R. H. Blyth.
