RE: Snow Falling! :: Haiku of Japan #42
Wow, @dbooster, I'm sorry I missed this one when you posted it! It makes me sad for Shiki to have lived this kind of life. Thanks for the interesting info on the shoji!
Thanks for checking it out :) What is amazing is despite his short and tragic life, he still made such a huge impact as to be considered one of the 4 great haiku masters in Japan. Imagine what he could have done had he lived longer.
Yes, @dbooster, that seems to be what has happened with lots of artists, musicians, writers over the years. They live short lives, but impact many lives with their work. Yes, I'm sure he would have written many more!
