Japanese philosophy inspired design
Western art transforms the 'impression' into description. The haiku never describes; its art is counterdescriptive, to the degree that each state of the thing is immediately, stubbornly, victoriously converted into a fragile essence of appearance.
- Roland Barthes (2007)
