Literary Revelations announces a new anthology – Haiku: A Global Manifesto for UNESCO Recognition, in collaboration with the Haiku UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Registration Promotion Council
Hikari- For Haiku Global Manifesto Celebration
With boundless gratitude and immense joy, Literary Revelations is deeply honored to announce our upcoming landmark joint collection: Haiku: A Global Manifesto for UNESCO Recognition.
Haiku, the worldโs shortest fixed-form poetry, represents one of humanity’s most breathtaking giftsโa practice of quiet presence, unmasked truth, and reverence for the unspoken spaces (ma) that connect us all. What began centuries ago in Japan has blossomed into a vibrant global movement loved across more than 200 countries. In just a handful of words, haiku bridges continents, transcends boundaries, and cultivates a shared sanctuary of peace and understanding.
This curated anthology is conceived not merely as a book, but as a living record of community consensusโa collective voice brought together to support the formal nomination of Haiku for the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Statement of Support / ไฟณๅฅใฆใในใณ็กๅฝขๆๅ้บ็ฃ็ป้ฒๆจ้ฒใซใคใใฆ
We are profoundly humbled to share the official endorsement and message of support provided by Kenzo Nomura, Chairman of the Haiku UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Registration Promotion Council:
“Haiku, the world’s shortest fixed-form poetry, originated in Japan and is now enjoyed in over 200 countries worldwide. This poetic form, which captures a moment in a few words, historically had a basic structure centered on seasonal words and a 5-7-5 syllable pattern. However, it has now spread both domestically and internationally in various forms, including non-seasonal and free-verse poems, likely because it is a poetic form that is easily accessible to people all over the world.
Haiku allows us to express everything from familiar things to the universe, condensing them into extremely short words. What haiku can contribute to the world is not only its appreciation of nature, but also its ability to cultivate the ability to view and think about subjects from a social and global perspective.
As haiku spreads throughout the world, it will foster greater awareness of the importance of harmony and cooperation. Even if its influence grows only little by little, we believe that haiku can contribute to building a better world.
Through the publication of this joint collection of haiku, we hope to share our philosophy with people around the world: that promoting the registration of haiku as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage is an expression of our heartfelt wish for world peace.”
