Haiku Japanese Art and Poetry

I bought this as a gift for a colleague that I got for 'Secret Santa' at work. Knowing that he is interested in art and learning to speak Japanese I thought this would be a nice gift for him. He liked it very much.

If you like Japanese art, calligraphy and haiku, you'll love this attractive gift book.

Excellent poems and artwork if you like that sort of thing. Which I do.

Good value

I bought this book as a bithday present for my wife. She liked it a lot!Very delicate print, very beautiful illustrations.This is not the place to give review to the Japanese art, but I think that the selection of haiku and pictures is perfect.Well done!

I bought this as a gift & was pleasantly surprised that it came sealed, the book looks beautiful & I think it will be a hit!

Superb images. I love that the text has Japanese script, Romanised Japanese and English Translation; it helped my attempts at learning Japanese whilst enjoying the feast of Haiku and art.

I loved it. A foreword is always nice.

A nicely put together collection of poems with great illustrations.

Hermoso e inspirador.

This book is still sealed up, it is a present for someone. I chose it because of the illustrations and of course, the poems.

An excellent book on the Japanese Haiku

Very thought provoking poetry. Sometimes the art can go hand in hand with the poetry, other times it may feel like it gets you an image that is not quite meant for the poem. However, it does compliment it in a beautiful format. It includes the original text, and translations to English. Only thing that doesn't make it 5 stars for me is that it is a bit thin, and not as much bang for your buck. Also, it would be nice but not essential to have a more formal teaching introduction on how to decipher and reveal deeper meaning from such short poems.
