Chuzo obliged and soon
a new phenomenon of

The poetry that often praises insects
is a type of poetry that rejoices
in the minuscule
as a defining feature
of a particular time and space.
This form of poetry, the haiku,
became popular in the 17th century,
its minimal form a model illustration
of Japanese aesthetics and values.
Haiku is the expression
personal and universal in equal parts.
It is the distillation of time,
a representation of a
single spontaneous moment -
an eternity captured
in a mundane instant of reality.
Haiku is an interpretation
of the brevity of life
and the never-ending cycle of nature -
the unyielding passing of the seasons.
Similar to the concept of
Mono No Aware,
haiku is about the transience of all things
and the perception of intimate nature
without intermediaries.
Haiku is man as part of nature,
or more exactly
man as nature.

emotional characteristics to insects.
Because of the shrewdness
with which it caught its prey,
the dragonfly was a favorite emblem
among the warrior class.
It was called the "Victory Insect,"
