About this product

Product Information

The strictest and purest of poetic forms, the Japanese haiku contains in its seventeen sound characters a reference to a season as well as a distinct pause or interruption. Cherry blossoms and swallows might refer to spring; red maple leaves and deer usually imply autumn. These seasonal allusions emphasize the essence of haiku: nature and its ephemeral beauty. The graceful, evocative haiku featured here were composed by the renowned Japanese haiku masters of the past four hundred years, including Matsuo Basho, Taniguchi Buson, and Kobayashi Issa. The deceptively simple poems - rendered in English with Japanese calligraphies and transliterations - are paired with exquisite eighteenth- or nineteenth-century paintings and ukiyo-e prints and twentieth-century shin hanga woodcuts from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Canada. With their depth and delicacy, wide range of subtle hues, and timehonored focus on landscapes, birds, and flowers, these artworks - like their haiku counterparts - quietly capture a moment in time.

    A regular top notch seller. Goods as described. Communication exact and helpful. Fast posting. Wrapped with thin plastic, three books in one. If only all sellers were this fast getting goods out the door. Clean used condition. Great value on some books, have to hunt around for competition. These are near enough.

    The book arrived in perfect condition well packaged. It was a couple of days later than promised but I think this was a PO problem rather than the seller. A good price and as described. When the seller was contacted as the book had not arrived they immediately replied - could not fault. Would use this seller again.
