Haiga

Historically from 1600 Haiga is a style of Japanese painting that incorporates the aesthetics of Haiku.  Haiga are typically painted by haiku poets and accompanied by a haiku poem. Like the poetic form it accompanied, haiga was based on simple, yet often profound, observations of the everyday world. A modern interpretation of Haiga involves a poetic response that combines a photographic image with a Haiku in which the Haiku deepens the experience of viewing the photograph.
