| Publisher Description: 365 Japanese epigrams (similar to haiku) are presented in this volume. In addition, the editor has illustrated the text with several black and white plates taken from classic (pre-1915) woodblock prints. In the original publication (1911) Porter provided a "romanised" (phonetic) version of the original Japanese as well as his own version expressed in English rhyming triplets. |
