The British Haiku Society (BHS) was formed in 1990 and aims to promote haiku and to teach and publish Haiku in English.

Activities

The BHS holds an Annual Haiku Award.[1] From the 1990s until 2004 the Society also offered a Sasakawa Prize.[2]

In 1992 the BHS published The Haiku Hundred, an anthology of haiku in English to bring haiku to the attention of UK readers.[3]

In 2009, the then president of the society, Annie Bachini,[4] complained about the quality of haiku being submitted to a haiku string competition where the winning entries, which were flashed on a screen at London King's Cross railway station, were judged by Yoko Ono and Jackie Kay.[5]

The London Haiku Group meets under the auspices of the BHS and covers London and the South East of England.[6]
