haiga artist Kuniharu Shimizu of Tokyo selects a haiku by Alan Summers for his artwork



Kuniharu Shimizu said:
" I like the contrast of the subject matters, big truck in the artwork, and a can of coke in the verse. However the sizes differ, both are man-made things, expressing their existence in their own ways."

Please feel free to add a comment or two both on this blog, and at Kuniharu Shimizu's website:

Donna Fleischer says:
 
"What an imaginative pairing. The gleam of the industrial world of machines and metal, and cans of cherry cola, with room for a morning star.

 
Posting this at my blog word pond, with delight! Thank you both!"

Alan Summers Honourable Mentions for haiku in the Best of Mainichi Shimbun, Japan


I didn't get round to submitting often to Mainichi Shimbun aka Mainichi Daily News in 2011 so it was a delightful surprise when I received two Honourable Mentions selected by the (Tokyo) Museum of Haiku Literature's Isamu Hashimoto:

rain clouds
conversations shift around
the train carriage

— Alan Summers (Bradford-on-Avon, England)



Isamu Hashimoto:
All the passengers must be afraid of a delay. The train continues to run along the steep precipices under the rain clouds.

netsuke...
the hare with amber eyes
jumps back in again

— Alan Summers (Bradford-on-Avon, England)



Isamu Hashimoto: 
Netsuke (small Japanese art sculptures) are attached to purses as stoppers. They are valuable and are often made of ivory or chased gold.
