Kuni san recently created a beautiful haiga featuring a haiku by Winona Baker. Read the poem and then click the link to see how he illustrated it. It’s pure genius! And the haiku is amazing too!
A dark path / in the graveyard / leads to a snowman. — Winona Baker
–> See the haiga by Kuni san on his blog titled “See Haiku Here“
PS Have you noticed the little cut-out snowman in the corner? A beautiful touch, isn’t it?
