Are you sure? Ichibutsu jitate is one only image flowing through the entire haiku. Furthermore, here's a little too much overthinking and conceptualism... I would have expressed the same thing in a way similar to this:
man hands shape
green plants and grey stone
in straight lines
Your comment, Marco, reminds me of the ichi-bioshi principle. We can find it in karate-do, kendo, but I'd say in budo in general. It means one breath / one heartbeat, meaning how a practicioner should move. This is another example of how the way of the warrior is essentially linked to haiku through zen and its constant practice.
In my reads, I have found that for Japanese culture every practice is art, indeed the concepts of art and practice are superimposable. Thus, the same principles are found with little variation in every field, from martial arts to painting, architecture, poetry ... and the influence of Zen schools in Japan has been comparable to that of Christianity on our European culture, therefore Zen deeply permeates all these principles and arts.
In my life, I have found the principles of art govern all things: cleaning, business, eating, love...
toriawase with torihayashi to the third ku? for yours @bananafish.
Interesting to note all the straight lines were man made.
True for the photo but I guess nature does have some straight lines (crystal structure for instance), but irregular or fractal are more common.
