Seventeen syllables of everything.

Haiku is the art of saying everything in almost nothing. Three lines, seventeen syllables (5-7-5), and a single moment captured with such precision it takes your breath away. When a haiku arrives in the mail, it's like finding a perfect seashell.

History & Origins

Originating in Japan in the 17th century, haiku was perfected by masters like Matsuo Basho. The form emphasizes nature, seasons, and the fleeting beauty of a single moment. Modern haiku has evolved beyond strict syllable counts to embrace the spirit of brevity.
