We consider compact Kählerian manifolds $X$ of even dimension 4 or more, endowed with a log-symplectic holomorphic Poisson structure
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1}$ which is sufficiently general, in a precise linear sense, with respect to its (normal-crossing) degeneracy divisor
$D(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$. We prove that
$(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$ has unobstructed deformations, that the tangent space to its deformation space can be identified in terms of the mixed Hodge structure on
$H^{2}$ of the open symplectic manifold
$X\setminus D(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$, and in fact coincides with this
$H^{2}$ provided the Hodge number
$h_{X}^{2,0}=0$, and finally that the degeneracy locus
$D(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$ deforms locally trivially under deformations of
$(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F1})$.
