Description

A long time ago, an emperor from China wanted to put on display in his palace the most beautiful painting in the world. He asked the best weaver-masters from the country to produce the finest sheet of silk and mount it into a frame. Then, after a long and rigorous selection, a young painter was chosen to create the masterpiece.

The painter apologized, saying he wasn’t ready for the assignment at the moment and asked for some time to prepare. He left the imperial court and spent all the time at his home. Months passed by. Finally, after a lot of insistence from the emperor, the artist returned to the palace and only drew two vertical lines on the silk fabric: one white and one blue.

Angered by the painter’s perceived insolence, the emperor threw him into prison. However, some hours later, when passing through the hall after nightfall, he was surprised to find out that the two lines had transformed into a lively pair of dragons. One was white, the other was blue, and they were fighting against each other in the silvery light of the freshly risen full Moon. Amazed by the artist’s skill, the emperor freed him from jail and rewarded him generously for the masterpiece.

This book is not a simple collection of random poems. Instead, it is an invitation to a journey, a journey that attempts to enclose the spirit of a full year into one hundred and eight haiku spread over as many pages.

In the world of manifestations, if we try to decompose objects or living organisms into smaller parts, we end up at the level of elementary particles. If we further expand our analogy, what would these elementary particles be in the universe of art? When does a line become more than a line? When does a poem become more than a collection of random words? Perhaps the haiku as a poetic genre strikes a good balance between minimalism and expressivity, between the moment and eternity.

And so, my dear friend,
the journey awaits for you -
let's step on the road.
