Haiku are seventeen-syllable poems that contain entire worlds in their simplicity and have fascinated Japanese readers since the 17th century. Today, haiku poetry is practiced all over the world and is considered part of our common global cultural heritage.

This beautiful, traditionally hand-bound book presents new English translations of classic poems written by the four great masters of Japanese haiku: Matsuo Bashō, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa, and Masaoka Shiki. Each poem is accompanied by the original Japanese version as well as a phonetic transcription.

With its timeless design, Haiku is a poetic introduction and a tribute to one of the world's most beautiful and accessible forms of poetry.
