The Modern Haiku Association (Japanese: 現代俳句協会) is a Japanese professional association of haiku poets and enthusiasts. It was founded in 1947 by Hakyō Ishida, Hideo Kanda, and Saitō Sanki.[1] The organization publishes the journal Modern Haiku and has a database of kigo, or season words, that can be used in haiku.[2]
