A book of English Haiku and Tanka. After Living in North Japan I have came to study and understand how the delicate but power Japanese styles of poetry tie into its' culture. Energy from charismatic nature is the steady flow of life for the people. It is not just a short poem of few words, but few words sharing the relationship of nature and human life together. This is my paintbrush into my Japanese experience; a kaleidoscope of thoughts.
