Judge's comment: The submitter reworked on the previously submitted haiga, adding new haiu and some kanji characters. I am not sure why these kanjis are added. Each set of kanji has its meanings but I think most of people who see it cannot read kanji so they probably look at it as a visual image. As a visual image, the type of fond used does not go well with the brush painting. There are other fonts which carry the feel of brush. As for those who can read the kanji, which include myself, have difficulty in appreciating why these choices of kanji words go along with this haiga and haiku. These kanji words have too big concepts to be included in a small art like haiga.
