Some 120 haiku by such masters as Basho, Issa, and Buson--all written on themes of the beauty of nature--are combined with the woodblock prints and paintings of the great artists of classical Japan.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Good book ... just wish it were a bit longer. I like the way the poems and illustrations are incorporated together.
Assuredly a Winner and a Fantastic Gift.

Left alone to my own vices one afternoon at a friend's loft, I happened upon A Haiku Garden which I devoured with delight and then made an excuse for my friend to invite me over again.The woodcut reproductions are priceless and a source of inspiration to a non-artistic poet. A wonderful "tea table" book and a perfect gift. In fact, I plan to buy a copy for myself!
Excellent and inspiring.

I recommend this wonderful book for the inspiration it gives. The poetry is accessible and charming. The reproductions of woodcuts are beautiful. Anyone who would like to try writing Haikus as a meditation, or for fun will find that it starts to happen almost automatically.
