Back to the
AHA home.

This book is now out of print. Therefore it was decided to scan in the pages as they were to make the book available to others for free on the web.

The poems were selected by Kazuo Sato, President of the Museum of Haiku Literature in Tokyo, Japan. In rereading the over 400 haiku he picked I realized what a good selection he had made. Though he is now deceased, I send thanks to him.

Unable to read Chinese I cannot vouch for the perfection or style of the translations and in a few cases where there errors in the English I was unable to make changes since each page was a scan. There is also some confusion in the numbering in the beginning which I could not correct.

So Dear Reader, this is as the book is in the one last copy I have. I hope the work getting it here will be repaid with your delight in seeing this collection of haiku in English and that Chinese readers will find many new haiku to enjoy.
