| Welcome to website. My name is AKIO Bin. In 1950, I was born in Yoshikawa, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.Now I live in Noda, Chiba Prefecture.My father KAWAI Gaifu was a haiku poet, so through him haiku has been familiar to me since my early childhood. In 1992, I won the 11th Modern Haiku Association Prize in Critique for my essay, "Modernity in Masaoka Shiki". In 2020, I won the 75th Modern Haiku Association Prize for my anthology, "Furimidasu;Disturbe" Now I am a president of the haiku magazine Jiku, and vicedirecror of Modern Haiku Association. I completed the doctoral course in the graduate school of the University of Tsukuba. I am a Doctor of Philosophy in Information science and a Master of Philosophy in Information and Library Science. I have been studying Haiku media. |
