Hokku. Japanese lyrics

The miniature book measures 51mm by 36mm in a slipcase.
Japanese lyric poems of hokku (haiku) are characterized by extreme brevity and peculiar poetics, depicting with their syllable the life of nature and man in their merged, indissoluble unity against the background of the cycle of seasons. Japanese lyricism is fully reflected by the term "after feeling" - after all, not immediately subsides the deep echo born by the word. The ability to awaken the imagination is one of the main properties of Japanese poetry. Masters such as Basho, Buson, and Issa are only a few of those whose poems are still able to stir our senses.
Translated by poet, philologist and literary critic Vera Nikolaevna Markova, the unique Japanese poetic miniatures turn into aphoristic verlibers that turn into blank verse.
