As a student of Japanese aesthetics and culture I'm fascinated with the prominence Haiku has in Japanese society.  

​

In studying the 72 micro-seasons of Japan, it is profound to see each micro-season first expressed with haiku that illustrates the season and the lineage of each poet delved into, as if they were royalty - revered and honored. 

​

The subtlety of haiku, the reverence for nature, and the appreciation of each and every day - the aesthetics of the Japanese, inspires me to write haiku and practice the art of my ancestors.

​

Adding the artistic element and story behind each haiku are necessary for me, as an expression of the meaning behind the work.

​

I will occasionally share these works here.  

​

Most humble regards,

​

Linda
