The Great Earthquake in 830
天長7（830）年における大地震
Here are two interpretations on the great earthquake in Akita Prefecture in 830.
The great earthquake broke out in Katsuhira Heights and the area around them at about 8 o’clock a.m. of January 3, 830. The earthquake was so great as to divert the course of the Omono River by tsunami, a tidal wave.
The vast area of the heights were collapsed to a large extent.
Shoheiji Temple built there is said to have been completely broken with some stone Buddhist images buried in the sand and other ones carried away by the wave into the Omono River or into the sea.

Here is a photo of the stone Buddhist image pulled out of the sea.
It is said that one day in 1185, local fishermen pulled a fishing net to their boat from the sea, finding a stone Buddhist image approximately 150 centimeters tall in the net.

The Report “Haiku Introduction in Vladivostok”
Here is a report by Hidenori Hiruta, whose title is “The Introduction of Haiku in Vladivostok”.
At the end of September, 2011, I had an opportunity to introduce haiku in Vladivostok, Russia. I left Akita on September 25 and arrived at Vladivostok that evening, staying till October 2.
During my stay there, Director OISHI Sohei of JAPAN CENTER IN VLADIVOSTOK as well as Ms. Suleymenova Aida, the associate professor of Far Eastern Federal University (Chairperson of Yosano Akiko Memorial Literary Society) kindly gave their cooperation, helping me introduce and spread haiku through school visits, workshops, and a talk. Mr. Ilya Dyakov, a FEFU student, helped me with my activities as an interpreter and guide.
On the afternoon of September 26, I paid a courtesy visit to JAPAN CENTER and the Chair of Japanese Philology of Far Eastern Federal University Institute of Oriental Studies.
When I met Director OISHI Sohei and Chief of Chair Shnyrko Alexander, I delivered to them the message from the HIA president, Dr. Akito Arima, and presented them with HI No.94 and No.95. I told them about the aims of my visit, and asked them for their cooperation, hoping for a further spread of haiku in Vladivostok.
On my courtesy call, to my great surprise, I found the image of Buddha and the monument of YOSANO Akiko （与謝野晶子） and her poems Starting on a Journey（旅に発つ）, erected in the front garden of the FEFU Institute of Oriental Studies. There is also the monument of the Urajio Honganji Temple（浦潮本願寺）near the FEFU buildings.
While staying in Vladivostok, I enjoyed talking about haiku to those children, students, and those who are interested in the Japanese language and Japanese culture.
In my visits to Eastern School, I talked about haiku with the teachers of Japanese and presented them with three books ‘Haiku by World Children (Chikyu Saijiki){地球歳時記）’ of Vol.8 (Impressions of Water),Vol.10 (Impressions of Wind), and Vol.11 (Impressions of School) published by the JAL Foundation, and also with the posters of the ‘World Haiku Children’s Contest’ made by the JAL Foundation.
After that, I told about haiku to kindergarten children studying Japanese in two classes for 20 minutes. I taught the word ‘Haiku’ to them, and presented them with the haiku by a six-year old Russian child from ‘Chikyu Saijiki （地球歳時記）’ .
The snails are little bit late
To the school
For twenty-four hours.
Laughter spread in the classroom with the translation by a FEFU student.
I also taught the words ‘rock-paper-scissors’ in Japanese, and the winner could choose any favorite one out of the haiga postcards made by Akita International University students through this ‘rock-paper-scissors’.
In a class for elementary pupils (from the age of 7 to 9), who study Japanese as their selective subject, I enjoyed the haiku lesson for 60 minutes. I presented several haiku and pictures by Russian children from ‘Chikyu Saijiki {地球歳時記）’.
The pupils enjoyed reading each haiku in chorus in Japanese as well as in Russian.
I also presented them with the haiga copies painted by an elementary pupil in Akita prefecture as well as the haiga postcards by AIU students.
The pupils enjoyed drawing a picture or writing haiku for ‘World Children’s Haiku Contest’ by the JAL Foundation, whose topic is ‘Festivals’.
I gave the four-day workshops of 90 minutes on writing haiku, short poems, for the FEFU students at the FEFU School of Regional and International Studies.
After the workshops the teachers gave me their comment, saying that they will take up haiku in classes from now on.
The students gave a presentation of their haiku composed in Japanese and Russian, which was very highly motivated and fluent.
I found that the students prefer those haiku which are humorous or ironical.
They like haiku, whose implication has something light, far from serious.
The following haiku by Basho pleased them most, causing laughter.
鶯や餅に糞する縁の先 芭蕉
Uguisu ya mochi ni fun suru en no saki
Bush warbler ―
Shits on the rice cakes
On the porch rail Basho （Translated by Robert Hass）
At Japan Center, I gave a talk on ‘Haiku and Tea Ceremony’ to the members of the Tea
Club ‘Ichigo Ichie no Kai（一期一会）’ formed for the cultural course.
Before the talk, they served me a bowl of green tea made through the tea ceremony style.
In return I presented them with my two favorite Japanese traditional folk songs, ‘Kuroda Bushi（黒田節）’ in Fukuoka Prefecture（福岡県} and ‘Obonai Bushi（生保内節）’ in Akita Prefecture（秋田県）.
Then I recited my haiku I had written in the Shinkansen for Tokyo on September 25, which took up the words ‘treasure-like wind’ used in the folk song ‘Obonai Bushi’.
宝風立つ高原や蕎麦の花 秀法
takara kaze tatsu kougenn ya soba no hana
treasure-like wind
favors the height ―
buckwheat flowers Hidenori
After that, I started talking about ‘Haiku and Tea Ceremony’.
First of all, I presented the audience with several haiku by Basho.
The first haiku was the one written in Kisakata （象潟）, Akita Prefecture.
象潟や雨に西施がねぶの花 芭蕉
Kisakata ya ame ni seishi ga nebu no hana
Kisakata –
Seishi sleeping in the rain,
Wet mimosa blossomas. Basho (Translated Donald Keene 鬼 怒鳴門)
The last haiku is well known all over the world.
古池や蛙飛びこむ水の音 芭蕉
furuike ya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto
The old pond;
A frog jumps in –
The sound of the water. Basho (Translated by R. H. Blyth)
I took up ‘the sound of water’ in Basho’s haiku, comparing the sound with ‘the sound made in mixing the powdered green tea with the hot water by a bamboo tea whisk’ in the tea bowl at tea ceremony.
I told that Zen has had a deep influence on both haiku and tea ceremony.
I concluded that haiku seeks for “pure present”, the eternal now, and tea ceremony seeks for “pure present”, the now as it should be, in each little space.
After the talk they gave me the comment, saying that they will take up ‘Haiku and the Season Words’ as the topic in the following cultural course.
This is because my talk caused a great sensation among the audience, I hear.
As a special guest Ms. Semyonova Larissa, a haiku poet, living about 750 kilometers away from Vladivostok arrived at Japan Center by bus and train.
Ms. Semyonova, whose pseudonym is ‘Isa’, is a Facebook friend of mine, who lives in Primorsky Krai, teaching haiku to children at the circle on Japan she formed as a volunteer for an elementary school.
Here is her haiku.
“побились тарелки” – пара строк
от токийского друга…
густой мартовский снег (Иса)
降りしきる雪の三月
届く声「食器割れた」と
東京の友 （イサ）
March of a heavy snowstorm,
A friend in Tokyo says,
“The dishes are broken”. (Isa) (Translated by Hidenori Hiruta)
Last of all, I sincerely hope that cultural exchanges like this will increase on the Internet among haiku poets worldwide, and that haiku will be loved more and more not only in Russia but also in any other country in the world.
Here is a website address, where the report by Hiidenori Hiruta is translated into Japanese.
It was put on the website of HAIKU INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION.

1 スティーブン・ホーキング博士に捧げて
本年2018年3月14日に亡くなられた英国の理論物理学者のスティーブン・ホーキング博士に捧げて2首詠いました。博士は21歳のときに発症された難病の「筋委縮性側索硬化症」(ALS)と闘病しつつ車イスの生活を余儀なくされつつも、生涯を宇宙と時間、空間の研究に捧げその業績で偉大なる貢献をし、世界中の人々に愛されてきました。
Homage to Professor Stephen Hawking, I dedicated two tankas to him.
Professor Hawking passed away, aged 76, on Wednesday, March 14, 2018.
Although he got the nerve disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which he developed at 21, and was confined to the wheel chair life under medication, he studied the universe, the nature of time and space and he made a great contribution to science throughout his lifetime. He has been loved by people around the world.

Haiku in Albania : アルバニアの俳句（１）
2018/04/07
On June 28, 2017, Mr. Kujtim Agalliu, kindly sent to Hidenori Hiruta an e-mail whose subject is “Hi”, saying as follows.
Honorable poets and leaders of Haiku International Association (HIA), we once received a magazine from Haiku International Association, and it was a good job, but after the death of our friend, the President of the Albanian Haiku Club, Mr. Milinov Kallupi, this correspondence was interrupted. I have taken this task and am trying to reorganize the Albanian Haiku Club, but I am at the beginning and have no experience.
Here on the Web I found this email address and I’m addressing you to send me some details about this issue. Soon we will send you two Haiku books in two languages, English and Albanian written by our poets.
Maybe you can help me by giving me an address where exactly we can send our books.
I’m waiting for your answer,
Good job!
Kujtim Agalliu,
President of the Albanian Haiku Club
Here is a portrait of Mr. Kujtim Agalliu.
Mr. Agalliu kindly sent two Haiku books with their bios and a short introduction of the haiku in Albania.
Here is Haiku by Kujtim Agalliu.
On haiku’s wings,
flying around the wide-world
without a passport.
Here is a short introduction for the beginning and evolution of the Haiku in Albania
At the 1984s for the first time in the Albania territory, the publishing house of Kosovo published an Anthology of the Japanese Haiku, which were represented from a lot of authors. It was prepared and interpreted with notes from the painter and Academician Shyqyri Nimani, who for some months studied in Japan for the pattern art.
At Albania in the year 1990, the publishing house “Naim Frasheri” published, an Anthology a little enlargement of the Japanese Haiku, where an honored place found the Japanese poets of Haiku. It was translated with a grand mastery by the well-known translator Petraq Kolevica.
At the year 1996, the publishing house “Onufri” published the first book with title “Hiroshima Out From Me”, with the original Haiku of the poet Betim Muço a well-known professor, who for some time studied at Japan.
After three years later at 1999s the poet and well-known scholar Moikom Zeqo, published his first book with Haiku with title “The After Death Terza Rima of Japonese Dante”.
At the year 2000, the poet Milianov Kallupi published his first book with Haiku titled “The Rain Chrysanthemums”. Since that time and now this poet has published 12 books with Haiku. Three from them are published in English, Greek and Macedon language.
Little by little the interest for haiku poems began to grow and in the year 2001 came the time for the Albanian Club-Haiku to be founded with its center in Elbasan, because in that city the poets created an encouraging climate.
So in the year 2002 four poets together: Milianov Kallupi, Nexhip Ejupi, Rakip Zhguni and Flamur Luta, published the first Anthology titled “Aurora”
Area that involved The Albanian Haiku is broad. Its group has well-known poets as Petraq Kolevica, Betim Muco, Moikom Zeqo, Milianov Kallupi, Nexhip Ejupi, Petraq Risto, Anton Papleka, Dashamir Cacaj, Ahmet Mehmeti, Konstandin Dhamo, Nasho Jorgaqi, Qazim Shemaj, Ferit Rama, Shuaip Garuci, Mihal Disho, Iliriana Sulkuqi, Agim Vinca, Kujtim Agalliu ect.
The Haiku publication don’t enclose only with editions in the different literary periodicals as “Drita”, “Fjala”, “Fakti”, “Temp” and “ARS”, but also with organization of the different discussions, inaugurations and disseminations.
Albanian Club-Haiku made the member of the International Association of Haiku some months ago. It has contact with many Associations in the wide world: Macedon, Germany, Greece, America and so on….
At current time Albanian haiku has done a good progress, but anyhow it still is a fragile poetry. This is because our poets even have not due knowledge about it. We hope that in the future we will have a good support from fatherland of Haiku, Japan.
Sincerely
Kujtim Agalliu,
President of Albanian Haiku Club
概略
平成29（2017）年6月28日アルバニアの俳句会会長クジチム・アガリウ氏からメ－ルがあった。
国際俳句交流協会（ＨＩＡ）の関係者の一人としてネット上でアドレスを発見し、メールを送られたとのこと。
ＨＩＡの機関誌が以前アルバニア俳句会に送られたが、前会長カルピ・ミリノヴ氏が他界され、ＨＩＡとの交流が途絶えてしまった。
現在、アガリウ氏が会長となり、アルバニア俳句会の再組織をはかっているが、始めたばかりで経験もないので、これから交流を深めながら活動を進めたいとのことであった。
先ず以て、英語とアルバニア語で書かれた句集を二冊お送りしたいとのことであった。

アルバニアの俳句の始まりと発展の短い紹介
昭和59（1984）年にアルバニアで初めてコソボの出版社が日本の代表的な多くの作家の俳句選集を出版した。パターンアートの学習のために日本で数ヶ月研究した画家であり、アカデミック会員のシュキュリ・ニマニ氏による注釈で準備され、解説されたものであった。
平成2（1990）年アルバニアでは、ナイム・フラシェリ出版社が日本の俳句の少し範囲を広げた俳句選集を出版、日本の俳人が敬意を表されている。翻訳者として名高いペトラク・コレヴィサ氏によってきわめて熟達した技能の下に翻訳された。
平成8（1996）年オヌフリ出版社が『私から遠く離れた広島』という書名の最初の本を出版。しばらく日本で研究した名高い教授である、詩人ベチム・ムチョ氏の独自の俳句が含まれている。
平成11（1999）年、その3年後に詩人であり、著名な学者モイコム・ゼコ氏が『テルツァ・リーマ（三韻句法）の日本的なダンテの死後』という書名の最初の句集を出版した。
平成12（2000）年、詩人ミリアノヴ・カルピイ氏は『雨の菊』という書名の最初の句集を出版した。その時から今までに12冊の句集を出版、3冊は英語、ギリシャ語、そしてマケドニア語で出版されている。
少しずつ俳句詩への興味が高まり始め、平成13（2001）年、アルバニア俳句会がエルバサンの中心地に設立される時がやって来た。その地は詩人達がお互いに鼓舞し合えるような風土であったからである。
このような状況の下、平成14（2002）年にミラノヴ・カルピィ、ネキシヒップ・エジュピー、ラキップ・ジュグニィ、そしてフラムル・ルータの4氏の詩人の共著として『オーロラ』という最初の俳句選集を出版した。
アルバニアの俳句が占める地域は広く、その句会には、ペトラキ・コレヴィサ氏など18名以上の著名な詩人が所属している。
俳句の出版物は『ドリタ』、『フジャラ』、『ファクテ』、そして『アーズ』のような様々な文芸定期刊行物だけでなく、組織的な、いろいろな議論、新しい立ち上げや普及も含んでいる。
アルバニアの俳句会は数ヶ月前に国際俳句交流協会のメンバーになり、マケドニア、ドイツ、ギリシャ、アメリカなど、広い世界の多くの協会と交流をしている。
現在、アルバニアの俳句は大変進歩して来たが、まだ、未熟な詩である。これは我が国の詩人が十分な知識を持っていないことが原因である。
私たちは将来において俳句の祖国である日本から十分な支援を得ることを期待している。
敬具

This is the last part of a haiku booklet “Ambassadorial Haiku” by Radu Șerban.
On May 8, 2017, Vasile Moldovan in Romania, a haiku friend of Hidenori Hiruta’s, kindly and passionately presented this haiku booklet for 6th Japan–Russia Haiku Contest.
Hidenori Hiruta decided to translate haiku into Japanese as correctly and faithfully as possible, but really ended in literal translations.
He also decided to post and share haiku with the readers on the website of Akita International Haiku Network.
Last of all, here is a copy of a book cover presented from Vasile Moldovan with his thank-you letter.
This is the first Romanian Anthology of love haiku realized by Valentin Nicolitov, the chairman of the Romanian Society of Haiku. Its release was just on Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2018.

III. FEELINGS (2)
126.
For soul and body,
grain of mind, grain of wheat
sprouting peacefully.
魂と肉体のために、
心の粒、小麦の粒
穏やかに芽をふいている

Hand in hand
in shared sleeplessness –
old man and the moon.

United in prayer,
palms become wings
flying to the sky.

Years of solstice
uninterrupted, glacial,
I’m not losing hope.

With white stars
the sky is weeping for us –
snow of forgiveness.

Falling leaves, the price
of fruit; my tiredness
completes me.

Suppressed bitterness
at the monastery gate:
bitter pilgrim.

Floating autumn leaves,
tenderness and harmony;
floating within.
漂っている秋の葉、
優しさと調和；

Dreaming is for two;
a lone wing
cannot fly.
夢見ることは二人のために；
連れのない翼は
飛ぶことができない

Tormented soul,
harmony’s calling –
rustle of autumn.

With my eyes closed
I listen to the leaves, falling
like dry teardrops.

In front of the world
the virtue of modesty –
a weeping willow.
