Kigo
Kigo (season word(s), from the Japanese 季語, kigo) are words or phrases that are generally associated with a particular season. They provided an economy of expression that is especially valuable in the very short Japanese poetry form known as hokku, (later revised as haiku), as well as the longer linked-verse form known as renga, to indicate the season in which the poem or stanza is set.
