📚 𝗪𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗛𝗔𝗜 𝗡𝗘𝗞𝗢 𝗗𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗨 — "I Am a Cat” was the debut work of Soseki that is still popular to this day. The book contains a series of casually told anecdotes and witticisms, on behalf of a cat who observes and critiques those around him.

Japan is famous for the short form poetry called haiku, but did you know that it has a special connection with Ehime prefecture?
In fact, Matsuyama is known as the “Haiku Capital” because many famous haiku poets came from this city.

📜 Locals and tourists are encouraged to write a haiku and drop it in one of the boxes which are opened every two months in Ehime. The best creators are awarded prizes! Haikus can be submitted in Japanese, English, Korean, & Chinese. Non-Japanese languages are judged once a year.
