Haiku International Association

The Haiku International Association (HIA) is a global organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the art of haiku, a traditional Japanese form of poetry that captures moments with brevity and depth. Founded in 1995, HIA connects poets, enthusiasts, and organizations around the world to share and deepen their understanding of haiku. It organizes competitions, cultural exchanges, and educational programs to foster appreciation for this poetic form. Ultimately, HIA aims to preserve and spread haiku’s unique ability to express universal human experiences through concise, evocative language.
