This delightful volume presents some 140 haiku by masters of every period, including Basho, Buson, Issa and Shiki, arranged according to the kigo (or word linked to a particular season) that each haiku traditionally contains. Each poem is presented three ways, for the fullest possible enjoyment,in its original Japanese characters, in Japanese transliterated to Latin characters and in an English translation. Original artwork by the contemporary Japanese illustrator Kaori Yamaguchi adorns this contemplative journey from the first buds of spring to the falling snow of winter.
