Carol uses
her photographs to illustrate her own haiku and the haiku of the masters. She
particularly likes to illustrate the master, Chiyo-ni. Chiyo-ni, also known as
Kaga no Chiyo is one of the formost of all female haijin and one of the few
women represented for hundreds of years in a genre dominated by men.
Chiyo-ni
(1703-1775)
"Among the men there
is Basho; among the women there is Chiyo-ni, Japan's most famous woman haiku
poet."
