Wabi Sabi by Mark Reibstein art by Ed Young

Wabi Sabi searches for the meaning behind his name.  Haiku is interspersed and helps tell the story.
Unique format.  The orientation of the book is vertical which is also unusual.
Actual Japanese haiku (in Japanese) appear decoratively on each page.  The haiku were either written by Basho or Shiki.  After the story they are translated.
