This issue of LYNX is dedicated to:

Kazuo Sato
1927 - February 20, 2005

Kazuo Sato, professor, critic, haiku poet, and internationalist,  encouraged the development of haiku across the world. He also helped to introduce overseas haiku back to Japan where it had been looked upon with suspicion. The popularity of world haiku today is undoubtedly due in large measure to the efforts of Professor Sato and to R. H. Blyth.  Sato had been a student of Dr. Blyth. Kazuo Sato was Professor Emeritus of Japanese and English literature and comparative literature at Waseda University (Tokyo). He also  studied as a research fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, as a fellow at the East-West Center, Honolulu, Hawaii, the San Diego State University (California), and other academic institutions abroad. Professor Sato was author of several important books on haiku, and was for many years editor of the respected “Haiku in English” column in the Mainichi Daily News, Japan. This monthly column will continue. Send  haiku  by e-mail over the web site or via snail mail to:  Mainichi Daily News, Haiku in English,  1-1-1 Hitotsubashi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8051, Japan.
