"Where shall I go,
to what cave among the rocks,
to be free of tidings
of this gloomy world?"

This blog contains my thoughts and descriptions of haiga, haiku paintings, and related 17th, - 19th century Japanese masterworks. Please feel free to comment! I believe that haiga (haiku paintings) beautifully present unified, resonant works of art, rising above the sum of their minimalist parts - haiku poem, calligraphy, and painting - to capture a solitary glimpse of scenes in nature and everyday life.
