This owl-themed work captures the warmth of an unexpected meeting, blending Santōka Taneda’s free-verse haiku with Iwao Akiyama’s charming folk-art style.
The poem reads:
Wandering,
breathing hard,
I have come
to want to see you.
It reflects the simple yet profound human feeling of longing for connection, even after a life of wandering. In Japanese culture, owls symbolize wisdom and good fortune, making this pairing of image and verse universally relatable.
