Haiga

Haiga is a traditional Japanese art form that combines visual imagery, typically through watercolor or ink paintings, with calligraphic or poetic text. It often features a simple, delicate image paired with a few words or a short poem that complements or enhances the visual. Originating from the haiku poetry tradition, haiga aims to evoke emotion, beauty, and a deeper connection between the image and words. It’s appreciated for its harmony of art and language, capturing fleeting moments or profound insights in a concise, elegant way.
