Ryo's Haiku and Arpita's Painting :
TABLE OF CONTENTS
I'm very pleased to have encountered Arpita, an Indian woman artist, and to have started
a meaningful collaborative project with her: she does paintings for haiku of mine
which she has chosen. Mykel Board, my haiku friend, made a comment: "Beautiful picture.
Not quite Japanese (haiga) style, but that makes it more multi-cultural and interesting."
I hope that, through this kind of project, we can establish communion of the kind
Robert Spiess meant when he wrote: "In a certain sense a haiku can be said to communicate;
but at its deeper levels an authentic haiku establishes communion. It is this communion that
is of greater importance than communication per se."
