This is a phenomenal anthology! Each piece is written in traditional Japanese calligraphy, English translation, & a phonetic English rendering of the kana. Each is also paired with a traditional woodblock print & having the art & poetry there together made me notice new things in each. There is a succinct introduction that in less than 7 pages taught me things about the haiku form and the lineage of haiku masters represented here I hadn‘t known.
