The origins of kiko, or travel literature, in Japan spans to well over 1000 years ago. One of the earliest examples of kiko is Ki no Tsurayuki’s Tosa nikki, a diary which Tsurayuki wrote most likely in 935 during the Heian period of Japan. Another important example of kiko, which is similar in ways yet also very dissimilar to Ki no Tsurayuki’s Tosa nikki, due in part to the many years that the two are separated by in terms of when they were composed, is Matsuo Basho’s Oku no hosomichi, or Narrow

sometime after AD 759 during the Nara Period. It contains over 4,000 poems, mostly tanka, that date before the end of the eighth century, and the writings are somewhat divided chronologically into four periods. Almost two centuries later, the Kokin waka shū or Kokinshū, meaning “Collection of Poems Ancient and Modern,” was compiled under the imperial command of Emperor Daigo in AD 905 during the Heian Period by several well-known poets like Ki no Tsurayuki.

In Japanese poetry tradition, loneliness seems to play a vital role in the choices one can make. Men, women, and other living creatures experience the feeling of loneliness often, but the decisions made during loneliness are rarely explored.

On Mauna Wauna Tiki Waka we have five sheltered areas. Our island is shaped as a moon then connecting the two ends of the moon is a star. We cut the star into five point so that we could each have our own cabin. Since there is only four of us, we used the other point as a supplies cabin. That is where we store food, tools, wood, etc. All the shelters will be, are out of wood cut down from the forest on the opposite side of the island.

At this point it seems that Waka Flocka Flame is known for his terrible Public Relations skills rather than for his rapping ability - this prolific rapper (or former prolific rapper?) has been showing up left and right in social media in street fights and just being a criminal and and vandalizing in public.
