Winter Days
A collaboration of animators from around the world to create a visual Renku, a style of poetry specific to Japan whereby composers write a poem as a group, each poet creating a different verse. Winter Days is taken from Basho's Seven Poetry Collection and it is a paradigm of the sho-fu style of haiku. Led by Kihachiro Kawamoto, thirty-five animators from Japan, China, Belgium, Czech Republic, England, Netherlands, Canada, and Russia made this thirty-six part Renku.
