HAIKU—MESSAGES FROM MATSUYAMA

These fascinating essays on the nature of haiku were written in English by one of the leading Japanese experts on that topic, Yagi Kametaro (1908-1986), a former university president.  Yagi discusses individual haiku and senryu and modern masters such as Matsuoka Shiki, Santoka, Yanagihara Kyokudo, Kawahigashi Hekito, Hakyo, Kotenshi, and Kokunishi Moto.
