[Notes by J. Zimmerman]

Also see the great 2011 anthology:

Note:
we use the spelling Ginkoo [ginkō] for "a walk for the purpose of writing haiku. The original Japanese name is two Japanese kanji:
  1. the first, pronounced GIN, means "singing, praising, making a poem";
  2. the second, pronounced KOO, means walking.
[After notes from haiku poet Bev Momoi, who is Kanji-literate.]
