Natalia Kuznetsova’s mail

Dear Hidenori Hiruta-san,

Thank you once more for the joy of being part of the 2022 Series and for your dedicated work. Such a challenge!
I am sending to you hereby my contribution for this year’s project for your kind consideration. 

Hope you’ll find them relevant to the topic “Earth” –

our beautiful Earth with the human being, its integral part, who unfortunately so often harms it in many ways…

And I’m prepared to send a few photos which inspired some of my haiku and in which I tried to capture the beauty of the Earth

I’ve chosen the following haiku and haiga of this year.

Warmly,

Natalia Kuznetsova, Russia
