Fubutsushi covers a wide range of things and differs from words restricted as kigo (a season word) for haiku (Japanese seventeen-syllable poem) in that Fubutsushi refers to things with which a season in Japan appeals to the mind of our modern people.
風物詩の範囲は幅広く、俳句の季語として限定されたものと違って、日本の季節を現代人の我々の心に訴えかけているものを指す。
