The printing of poetry on single sheets of paper has a long history in Europe and in Japan. This paper will focus on the illustrated haiku surimono tradition in Japan, and a possible connection with the appearance of illustrated broadsheet poems during the poetic Renaissance in America in the 1960s. There is no question that haiku surimono were produced for some two centuries, and that many if not most such surimono, were illustrated for some 150 years. So for convenience, let us call this part of the story, "Act One". And there is no question that illustrated poetry broadsheets appeared as one aspect of the poetry "renaissance" of the 1960s on the West Coast of America. This, then, is "Act Two". The question this paper attempts to answer is whether or not there was a genuine "Interlude" in which the Japanese surimono of "Act One" influenced the West Coast broadsheets of "Act Two".
