‘Small paws unravel / a bamboo leaf- / rice dumpling’, Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827)

A charming anthology of 30 Japanese haiku, accompanied by beguiling colour imagery, devoted to the many moods and companionship of cats. An exquisite, curated collection of verse from 11 of Japan’s greatest poets, including Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827), Matsuo Basho (1644-94), and Santoka Taneda (1882-1940). Each haiku is presented in the original Japanese and an English translation. Spanning the 17th to 20th centuries, the cat-themed works sit alongside carefully selected woodblock prints and paintings, mixing cats at play and in repose. Elegantly presented, this pocket-friendly book of verse is sure to delight lovers of cats as well as admirers of Japanese art and culture.
