Wabi-Sabi originated from Buddhism but it was adapted by the Japanese. It was connected to Zen and how nature is imperfect and that makes it beautiful.

fall is a noted haiku season because there is a lot of change going on in nature which gives a lot of inspiration to write about it. fall represents decay and a beginning of an end whereas spring represents a birth of a new life. its imperfect because it shows life coming to an end but beautiful because it means that there will be another rebirth and another chance of experiencing life.

Zen is a belief that everything is a Buddha, that everything is equal. Issa's haikus about insects reflect that even fleas are equal to humans and nature. That insects, nature, and people are Buddhas.

Keeping in mind that the imperfections are perfect. That everything is perfect the way it is. Also noticing that everything is connected, spiritually connected.

Cherry blossoms have a simplicity of holding memories. Rather than buying obtaining expensive souvenirs to hold those memories, people could look at the cherry blossoms and remember. The way that cherry blossoms come and go also represent how memories come and go. You can hold on to a memory and then forget it, but you could remember it sometime in the future.

Haikus that have Wabi Sabi allow us to appreciate  the idea and imagery of the old and worn. It also helps us appreciate what we have and any imperfections in life. Time brings more character to people, nature, and objects. Any flaws one can have are beautiful and unique.

It is a noted haiku season due to the change that is occurring in nature which makes an easy perspective to write about. It is different then spring or summer because its representation of decay and the end while spring and summer are the start of something new. It is imperfect because of the life that is current is coming to and end but makes it beautiful because there will be a rebirth or new life.
