Deviation Actions
Inspiration
The kigo Shining Wind (kaze hikaru / 風光る) refers to a warm breeze of spring that follows after a dark cold winter, which breathes gently upon the skin, as if like a shining radiance. Throughout history cultures have named the wind based on different characteristics it exhibits or where it is coming from (or going to). Whether it is the tropical Alizé, a dust-laden Haboob, or Zephyros the Greek god of the west wind, there are stories behind each. Join the Haiku Club as we explore these stories and, perhaps, create our own.
Select a Prompt
