  UAM Haiga Exhibition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Haiga are abbreviated paintings inspired by haiku (poems composed in three lines of 5-7-5 syllables).
Haiga are presented in several different formats, including hanging scrolls, handscrolls, and folding screens.
In the case of haiga, scrolls would be displayed in the season appropriate to their poems and images, but in this exhibition viewers can enjoy the entire yearly cycle of nature as depicted in words and images by many of Japan's leading poet-artists of the past four centuries.

 Introduction by Jeanne Emrich
All the great haiku masters practiced haiga, including Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), who established haiga as a major art form, Yosa Buson (1716-1784), generally considered to be the one to have brought the form to its height of expressiveness, and Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827), as well as a number of Zen masters.
Some of Zolo's haiga, such as, "In Cathedral Rays" (11), began with the painting first followed by the creation of an accompanying poem; but the majority began with an already existing poem to which a painting was added.
This can be seen in some of his more "painterly" haiga such as "In Cathedral Rays" (11), a loosely rendered watercolor in which strong diagonal brushstrokes and paint splatter evoke a swarm of gnats in light filtering through a woodland canopy.

 Haiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditional Japanese haiga involved brush artwork (sumi-e) coupled with a haiku poem done in brush calligraphy (Shodo).
Modern haiga can also consist of photo-haiku (haiku accompanying a photographic image), and all modern forms of art coupled with haiku, including digital images.
Just as the haiku form often contains a juxtaposition between two of its lines and a third line, haiga can also contain a juxtaposition between the haiku itself and the art work.

Just as the haiku form often contains a juxtaposition between two of its lines and a third line, so does or can modern haiga contain a juxtaposition between the haiku itself and the digital art work.In short, the art work does not necessarily directly represent the images presented in the haiku.

Traces of the rough outer bran give haiga rice more flavor and texture than white rice, so it's excellent for mixed sushi.
Haiga may be thought of as the visual form of Haiku.
The rice named for the art form is less than fully refined, too; lingering traces of the rough outer bran give it more flavor and texture than white rice, but it is quicker and easier to cook than truly brown rice.

Another combination of arts that I find fascinating is haiga, where a haiku and a visual image can combine to reach a deeper expression than either one might alone.
I have studied traditional haiga (and written an exhibition catalogue by that name) as well as creating my own works in this field.

 MH Book Review—SUMMER DREAMS
The haiga in this collection are contributed both by leading contemporary practitioners (such as Jeanne Emrich, Susan Frame, and Kunihara Shimizu) and from relative beginners (Angelee Deodhar, Tom Clausen, and Karen Kubara).
Moreover, many of the originals are beautiful full-color haiga, available on line in all their glory, so it is especially disappointing to see them here as mere shadows of the original creations.
For example, the haiga by Kuniharu Shimizu illustrating Santôka’s eccentric Zen haiku are beautiful because of their use of color to suggest the tone of the haiku.
