This haiku technique is called Narrowing Focus and it was used often by Basho (1716-1784)) because, he as an artist, a painter, was a very visual person. It starts basically with a wide-angle lens on the world in the 1st line, then switches to a normal lens for the 2nd line and zooms in for a close up in the end.
