The concise, seventeen-syllable verse form known today as haiku rose to prominence in the popular culture of seventeenth-century Japan.

This seminar examines the poetics of haiku and linked verse ( renku) and looks at the expression of their aesthetics in recent Japanese literature and culture from architecture to the novel to Zen.
