Our City Expert's Tips


World Scholar
Haiku is an incredibly versatile art form because it's so adaptable to other languages. It is written with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second, and five in the third.

Haiku is one of the great gifts of Japan to the world, and this museum celebrates its undisputed master.
