Haiku | Shoko Takahashi

September 12, 2024 Karinna Gomez

Shoko Takahashi, Against the Wind, 2024, linocut and type

SEPTEMBER 2024
SOUTH GALLERY
Haiku | Shoko Takahashi

This series of relief prints with type stamping is my visual Haiku.

Japanese Haiku focuses on capturing a moment in time, a sense of enlightenment, and images from nature. When I read Japanese haiku, I always feel a sense of calmness and fresh air. I wanted to create the feeling of Haiku by focusing on Alaskan and Japanese animals and keeping the image simple. By integrating text into the design, I created the written haiku feeling in each print.
