Haiku

Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that emphasizes brevity, nature, and a moment of insight or emotion.

The essence lies in simplicity, and clarity. Haiku captures fleeting moments with deep resonance.

  Japan essence: The blade is sharpest when the mind becomes still.

A frog jumps into the pond, splash!

erase again, and then
a poppy blooms.

how lonely I feel
in the cold of night!

is a world of dew,
and yet, and yet.

climb Mount Fuji,
but slowly, slowly!
