- A kigo is a word or phrase used in Japanese poetry that evokes a a particular season. Usually, any mention or Shallow Parody of haiku (or Japanese poetry as a whole) will very likely mention cherry blossoms. We'll leave it to The Other Wiki to tell us about the significance of Cherry Blossoms (sakura) to Japanese culture, because the point here is that they only appear in spring. Mentioning them is a economical way of setting the season, and haiku is all about economy of expression. Other common kigo are: : Snow, Cold, fugu soup, a seasonal dish, Christmas (modern).
