“images in the
Japanese haiku style
of seventeen syllable verses”
carol s. cunningham, summer 1986

This book is a companion piece to one of Carol’s earlier miniature books, Apricot Moon, and is the same size. Carol wrote 15 beautiful haiku verses for this volume. They are exquisitely presented in this tiny package. Rarely does book design complement the contents so perfectly. Justifiably, this book has become an extraordinarily desirable collectable by miniature book and haiku lovers.
