The poetic image [Philippines]:
IN LYRIC poetry, nothing can be more distilled in thought, emotion and image than the haiku, one of the glories of Zen. Not even the constraint of the sonnet's 14 lines can quite compare in couching a world in language so spare.
Minimalist art, often described as Zen-like, should therefore find a counterpart in the haiku, at least in theory, not necessarily in content. The two would make a perfect fit.
