Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 syllables and often referencing the changing of seasons. With a distinct pause or shift, a haiku captures the fleeting beauty of nature through simple yet profound words.
Japanese woodblock artists have often drawn their water from the same wells of creativity used by haiku poets, as demonstrated on these beautiful notecards. Combining haikus old and new, with prints from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries.
