Haiku/Japanese Art and Poetry 2016 Calendar

Haiku Wall Calendar: Haiku 2017 Wall Calendar features twelve haiku paired with reproductions of exquisite Japanese woodcuts from the extensive collections of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. The roots of Japanese haiku reach back over a thousand years. In the Japanese haiku poem, as in life, there is a pause, a shift, in which the poet celebrates sensory awareness of the season, perhaps suggested by the scent of red plum blossoms, the sight of a waxwing foraging for berries, or the silence of a snow-covered meadow. The timeless appeal of this understated poetic form may be the human desire to capture one's impressions of a fleeting moment.Each month features a Japanese artwork and haikuEach poem is rendered in Japanese calligraphy, romanji transliteration, and English translationPrevious and next month viewsObserves major holidays and moon phases
