object association / [object] referent
Explanation:
This has to do with the meaning of 'kigo': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kigo. It is effectively a single object associated with a particular season in Japanese poetry. So you could translate Objektbezug as 'object association' or more simply 'referent' perhaps.
