Synopsis

Haiku is presented here as a highly distilled poetic form, traditionally shaped around 17 syllables arranged across three lines. This collection ranges across more than four centuries of haiku history, spanning 1488 to 1902, and draws on work by recognised masters including Basho, Issa and Shiki, alongside others.

The poems are translated by leading scholars in the field, with a foreword and informative notes supplied by editor Faubion Bowers. A concise choice for readers interested in the classic tradition of Japanese poetry in translation.
