Book synopsis

Written by Kyoshi's granddaughter, 100 Works of Kyoshi is a unique collection of 100 haiku of one of Japan's greatest poets, Takahama Kyoshi. Many of these poems have never before been translated into English, and come from personal memoirs never previously published. This collection contains the original Japanese kanji, the Romanized version and the translation of each haiku. Also included is a brief biographical essay to give historical and environmental context to the writing. A disciple of Masaoka Shiki, Kyoshi is recognized to be one of the great masters of Haiku, along with Shiki, Basho, Buson and Issa. This collection is Teiko Inabata's gift of new insight into her grandfather's life and art through his biography, her remembrances and his original haiku. The translations are done by Japanese poet Aya Nagayama and American poet/musician James W. Henry, with contributions from American poet Maureen Wartski.
