Customer Reviews
Beautiful - Rated This is an exquisitely designed book and the poetry, divided into four seasons, a wonderful selection from centuries of haiku right up to the twentieth. The paintings enhance the poetry beautifully, and what really adds to the enjoyment is the inclusion of the Japanese in both western and original script, so that even if you only know a little Japanese - or none - you get a feeling of the poem that may be absent in the translation. This couldn't be better. A good introduction - Rated Before reading this book I knew relatively little more about Haiku poetry and I found this book informative and easy to read. The book begins with a brief history of the Haiku then explains the basic characteristics of a Haiku and how to appreciate them. The book then moves on the Haiku themselves, each of which is reproduced in both their original Japanese as well as in English, and split into sections arranged by season. The book also includes over thirty beautiful paintings from the British Museum's collection, all of which are paired with Haiku that are most appropriate. As someone relatively new to the subject I found this book was a good introduction to Haiku poetry and is also a good book to just dip into every now and again.
