Summary/Abstract: The article concerns different aspects of convergence processes of the traditional Orientalgenres in the Polish culture, focusing on haiku, haiga and haibun. It examines artists’ books,visual arts and the artistic websites. The theoretical frame of the research is rooted in theconcept of transculturality introduced by Wolfgang Welsch.The author analyses Polish works of art employing different strategies of combiningwords and images, thereby showing unexpected similarities between cultures and revealingthe artistic changes caused by the choice of different media. The investigation provesthat the most interesting compositions uncover unexpected common elements betweenapparently contradictory traditions, the necessary condition is, however, at least the basic knowledge about the Other.
