Category: Poetry

Some 120 haiku by such masters as Basho, Issa, and Buson--all written on themes of people of various shapes and sizes, young and old--are combined with the woodblock prints and paintings of the great artists of classical Japan. The poems appear both in skillful English translation, as well as in the original Japanese.
