Haiga 495 Yosa Buson haiku 4


Haiku by Yosa Buson. Photo by myself.

My friend, a calligrapher, gave me a small paper screen (about the size of B5 when folded). According to him, you do your calligraphy and paste the paper on the screen and put it on a shelf or some place as a decoration.
I had another use of the screen, which you see here in this photo-haiga.

Incense is an art in many countries. Was quite popular in olden time in Japan, being appreciated in the similar ways as tea ceremony and flower arrangement.
