About this product

Product Information

Similar in form to the well-known, more serious haiku, the satirical-and often humorous-poems known as senryu have received little scholarly attention because most were written by anonymous amateur poets and were therefore considered popular literature unworthy of serious study. Senryu are interesting, however, precisely because they reflect the thoughts and feelings of ordinary townspeople in a way that other more orthodox types of Japanese literature do not. In his introduction on the nature and historical background of the form, Makoto Ueda explores the elements of humor and satire contained in senryu, highlighting the mores that lie behind the laughter the poems evince.

Oh my goodness! I received my Bible today. I am so impressed and pleased. It is listed as a used Bible. It is like new! I can’t find the first marking. Meissner Library, you are awesome. Thank you so much for delivering such a gem. Communication was great and the Bible arrived with no damage to the packing or Bible. Will definitely recommend them!

BUYER BEWARE!!! This seller isn't reputable. I bought a book for $21.91 listed as the last one, paid immediately but the book was never shipped. After several emails requesting the book with no response, I finally got an email back stating that my order was being refunded. Their bogus reason was that there was an issue with my shipping address. Now they have the same book also listed as the last at $720.84. Could this be my book? From their negative feedback I'd say they have a habit of this.

eBay should restrict this seller. If you’re reading reviews prior to a purchase, I strongly suggest you shop elsewhere. I eagerly bought a book prior to reading seller reviews and encountered the same experience as others. The book never shipped and was ultimately cancelled and refunded with the reason given being “issue with buyer’s address”, which was totally false. Then the book was re-listed at a higher price. Ultimately this experience was a total waste of time and energy.
