Haiga - The mixing of a Haiku or Senryū with an image, the joinder creating something new. While the poem and image can stand on their own, together the combination forms a unique and more compelling genre. During the Edo period (1602–1869), a new visual poetry form was born, called Haiga. Haiga is a haiku/senryu poem combined with a painting or drawing. Haiga blends a poem with a picture that shows the essence of the poem, or commented upon it in some way. Creating haiga is thought to be a type of Buddhist meditation. The Japanese painter Yosa Buson is widely considered second only to Bashō as a master of haiku, and is considered the father of haiga. Modern haiga often combines a poem with a photograph or painting. Traditional haiga will be presented and discussed as will a variety of contemporary haiga.
