Description

Haiku Animals by Mavis Pilbeam is a collection of haiku poems that explore the animal kingdom. This volume features a range of poets, including 17th and 18th century masters such as Basho, Buson, and Issa, alongside contemporary writers. The book showcases the beauty of the haiku form in capturing fleeting moments of experience or impression. The accompanying illustrations add an extra layer of depth to these poems, often focusing on insects, horses, dogs, monkeys, birds, and other animals that are frequently featured in haiku. A selection of prints, scrolls, and hand-scroll paintings illustrate the animal subjects, demonstrating the Japanese appreciation for even the smallest creatures.
