Description
Reginald Horace Blyth's Haiku Vol. II (Spring) presents some of Japan's most iconic and beautiful haiku, organized by classic topics such as life and birth, the new year, landscapes, elements, flowers, and nature gods. This bilingual edition is a testament to Blyth's love and deep understanding of haiku, presenting his own lucid commentary alongside the best work of Japan's haiku masters. As an essential resource for English-speaking readers, this volume communicates the true meaning and spirit of haiku in a way that is rarely accessible to western readers. With 416 pages of haiku poetry, this collection offers a unique insight into the art form, making it a valuable addition to any library or personal collection.
