Haiku: Seasonal Japanese Art and Poetry Notecard Set
$18.95
Member Price$17.06
The roots of Japanese haiku reach back over a thousand years. In this poetic form, as in life, there is a pause, a shift, in which the poet celebrates sensory awareness of the season, perhaps suggested by the scent of peony blossoms or the silence of snow-covered tree limbs.
The timeless appeal of this understated poetry may be the human desire to capture one’s impressions of a fleeting moment. Such seasonal allusions emphasize the essence of haiku: nature and its ephemeral beauty.
This boxed notecard assortment features four haiku paired with reproductions of exquisite Japanese woodcuts.
