taiko

A senryu is a structured poem that can depict just about anything – from nature to current events. By embracing such a rigid structure one can realize an overwhelming freedom. The structure defines a 'rule of the game' playing by which we must reach deep within ourselves and far beyond our own worlds in order to create individuality, yet this freedom thrives because of the existence of a structure. In this sense the need for structure and the need for freedom are interdependent.
