DESCRIPTION:&lt;em&gt;Shining Wind&lt;/em&gt; is a lively look at the Yuki Teikei Haiku
   Society\, whose mission is to teach English speakers a traditional  Japa
 nese poetry form: haiku. A 1975 Japantown startup by the husband and  wife
  team\, Kiyoshi and Kiyoko Tokutomi\, has blossomed into a vigorous  socie
 ty centered in San Jose\, but with outreach to other states\, as well  as 
 Canada\, Australia\, and Japan. Today members celebrate a long list of  ac
 complishments\, including a bimonthly newsletter\, an annual members&amp;rsquo
 \;  anthology\, a regional saijiki (dictionary of season words or kigo use
 d  by haiku poets)\, an annual haiku contest\, and an annual haiku retreat
 .  At the 2012 retreat\, the society hosted the great physicist and haiku 
  poet\, Dr. Akita Arima\, from Tokyo.\n\nIn each season throughout the yea
 r the society gathers to write/exchange haiku:\n\n&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;lin
