This book was a total learning experience....saw the konji characters, compendium list of who the poets were, when written and what period.... I never quite understood the Haiku , but feel it's the word in Japanese that make the scene and explain the situation....sometimes it's just the writer's attempt to capture a moment or a feeling one receives from a beautiful vista or a strange thought that jumps in one's head for no reason...
Written in Japanese, Romanized Japanese, and plenty of footnotes for cultural understanding I bought all of these books by Rexroth. A better person will come from those that read and understand them. These are re-readers.
