The Japanese use haiku on 'Hureem bells' (if my benefactor taught me how to say it correctly). These are small bells with a paper, bearing the haiku, attahced by a thread to the clapper. This causes the clapper to move gently with the breeze and reminds the owner of the benefactor. Nice thought. Paul Murphy 53* 17' N 06* 08' W Horas non numero nisi serenas
