Program Description

Event Details

Virtual Presentations. Attend any or all sessions.

Enjoy the three haiku masters of the Edo period. Though hundreds of years old, these short poems have a force and vitality today: they describe the transient moment as it unfolds and vanishes, they acknowledge the foibles of being human, and they evoke a range of life’s emotions. The Haiku are accompanied with Japanese art and music. Join Jerry Matovcik for this appreciation of the ancient art of Japanese haiku.
