The lesser cuckoo (Cuculus poliocephalus) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae.
It is native to East Asia and the Himalayas; it winters to East Africa and Sri Lanka.
In culture
In Japan, the bird is called Script error: No such module "Nihongo". and frequently praised in senryu for its song.
It has been celebrated by numerous waka poets since the anthology Kokin wakashū (920).[2] Sei Shōnagon in her essay The Pillow Book (1002) mentions a trip she and other courtiers mounted on just to hear this bird, and it was expected of them that they would compose poetry on the occasion.[3] It is also the central image in poem 81 by Tokudaiji Sanesada in the anthology of 100 poems, the Hyakunin Isshu.[4]
The Japanese haiku magazine Hototogisu takes its name from the bird,[5] and the magazine's mastermind Masaoka Shiki's adopted pen name, Script error: No such module "Nihongo". also refers to the lesser cuckoo;[6] shiki corresponds to the Chinese zǐguī (Script error: No such module "Lang".), which is an alias for its standard name dùjuān (杜鵑).[7]
In Chinese, dùjuān is a generic name and the species' common name is xiāodùjuān (小杜鵑).[7]
In Korean literature, the song of the lesser cuckoo represents the sound of sadness.[citation needed]
