The editing board of the Journal of Romanian-Japanese cultural interferences HAIKU is continuing to organize the annual competition for haiku poems in fixed form, during the first trimester of 2023.

The competition is open to all poets who will send on the following e-mail address: valentin.nicolitov@yahoo.fr, a number of 6 (six) haiku poems (5-7-5), up to 31 March 2023. The participation is free.

Only original haiku poems will be accepted, which were not published in news papers or journals, author volumes or in any other forms up to the date of the competition.

As the photograph and haiku share the same space, they are meant to complement, and not explain, one another. In his article, "A Brush With Poetry," Susumu Takiguchi, the founder of World Haiku Club, writes: "If the painting and haiku are [the same], it would mean that one has been added because the other is not adequate. It is not only superfluous, but could also be interpreted as rude".
