Review: "Haiga is defined here as a kind of Japanese ink painting (suiboku). The conclusion to the introduction states that Hirata Shusui (1909- ) once said that the ideal in haiga is for the poem to be written by one person, and the picture to be painted by another. The artist can be inspired by the haiku and try toexpress it through painting. This kind of interaction produces the best possible conditions for haiga. And it is through this process that the haiga in this book were created by poet calligraphers and artists working together. Instructions are given for those who wish to try the art themselves. There is advice on the types of paper, ink and brush to use, posture and technique. The largest section of the book consists of ILLUSTRATED CLASSICAL POEMS. There are over 70 examples of work by Shiki, Basho, Buson and others. These are displayed in Japanese romanji with English translation and calligraphy by Suiyu Enomoto on the left-hand pages, with the Haiga of Yukki Yaura displayed on the facing right-hand pages. Running to some 240 pages printed on gloss art-paper, this books forms not only an excellent introduction to haiga, but also the classical Japanese haiku and contemporary English-language haiku."
