Almost all non-fiction anthologies I know are arranged by interest and not by alphabetical order? It may be edited by someone who knows more about Indigenous matters but not much about anthologies though, or it might be a cultural choice?
The haiku guide sounds pretty cool! We were generally taught at university that the kigo didn't have to be 'naming a season' so to speak (though this can certainly be done), but referencing something that everyone within the culture understands as being particular to a season, snow = winter, cherry blossoms = spring, etc. Tanka (which was what I specialised in, in that unit) are similar, and it is really nice to tie them together as a saijiki.
I found it made me feel a lot closer to the landscape. And I still write tanka sometimes because of it.
