Las actividades artísticas de Yukki Yaura abarcan la pintura, la caligrafía, el cine, el teatro, la televisión y la edición de libros. Ha publicado cuatro títulos propios en las

ediciones Suekichi Book. Haiga es el tercero de ellos y el primero en ser traducido al español.

Su formación artística clásica japonesa, especializada en tinta china, aguada y caligrafía en la Universidad de Arte de la Ciudad de Kioto, ha recibido posteriores aportaciones occidentales durante sus estudios en el Royal College of Art de Londres, lo que ha universalizado su concepción del arte.

Yukki Yaura ha recibido numerosos premios ( Nueva Ola y Holbien en Japón, Folio Society, Fsber-Castel & Lettraset, Sheila Robinson Drawing, Ray Finnis Scholarship, etc.).

Alcanzó amplia resonancia y difusión la labor que realizó para Peter Greenaway en su película El libro de la almobada.

Haiga, little known in the West, is a form of Japanese painting associated with Haiku poetry. Both emerged in the Edo period (1603 - 1868), and express deep sentiments profoundly linked to nature and the four seasons of the year.

Haiku is a short style of Japanese poetry in measures of five, seven five verse well known to Japanese and westerners alike. Not so well known are the paintings of famous Haiku poets such as Buson, who first attempted to express their poetry as paintings.

Haiga belong(s) to the field of Nihonga (Japanese colour painting), and more particularly to Suiboku-ga (Japanese ink painting). This book is illustrated by Yukki Yaura, with calligraphy by Suiyu Enomoto. It contains many poems by famous Japanese Haiku poets and contemporary Western Haiku poets as well. Students from the Japan Suiboku Centre have also contributed Haiga paintings inspired by the great Haiku poets of Japan. Haiga is for anyone interested in Haiku poetry and want to express their innermost feelings by painting. This book gives simple directions on how to paint, and is suitable for poets, teachers, students and painters. Published by Suekichi Book
