Haiku and Haiga

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781539753971

Japanese poetry form -- Haiku -- done in large print for ease of reading. It also contains Haiga which is haiku superimposed over a picture. There is much tradition and numerous rules to writing haiku and much to learn about the history. In the preface I have included some of the traditional rules. It can take a lifetime to master this form. I am discovering and trying to adapt to new information daily but know I will not master it in my lifetime. However, I am beguiled by it and strive to do my best. I hope this book will help captivate new readers who will immerse themselves into the charming, beautiful simplicity of this form. Haiku is not poetry; it is a way of life. It makes you appreciate the small things by more closely observing your surroundings and becoming more sensitive to your emotions.

Penguin Book of Haiku
<b>First Penguin volume</b><br> <b>Of best Japanese haiku</b><br> <b>Vivid translations</b> <p/>Now a global poetry, the haiku was originally a Japanese verse form that flourished from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. Although renowned for its minimalism and brevity, usually running three lines in seventeen syllables, and by its use of natural imagery to make Zen-like observations about reality, in fact the haiku is much more: it can be erotic, funny, crude and mischievous. Presenting over a thousand exemplars in vivid and engaging translations by Adam L. Kern, this anthology offers an illuminating introduction to this widely celebrated, if misunderstood, art form.

Tales of Ise
<b>One of the three seminal works of Japanese literature--a beautiful collection of poems and tales that offers an unparalleled insight into ancient Japan<br></b><br>Along with the <i>Tale of Genji</i> and <i>One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each, </i>the <i>Tales of Ise</i> is considered one of the three most important works of Japanese literature. A poem-tale collection from the early Heian period, it contains many stories of amorous adventures, faithful friendship, and travels in exile, framing the exquisite poems at the work's heart. <p/>The <i>Tales of Ise</i> has influenced <i>waka</i>, Noh, tales, and diaries since the time it was written, and is still the source of endless inspiration in novels, poetry, <i>manga, </i>and cartoons. This volume has been translated by Peter MacMillan and includes a preface by the renowned Japanologist Donald Keene. <p/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
