Buku antologi yang mengumpulkan puisi tradisional dari Jepun iaitu Haiku (5-7-5 suku kata), Tanka (5-7-5-7-7 suku kata) dan Micro-Haiku (purata 3-5-3 suku kata). Semuanya ditulis dalam bahasa Inggeris, dan diterbitkan secara indie di USA.

Pada asalnya, semua puisi tersebut ditulis untuk menggambarkan suasana alam. Tapi versi moden dalam bahasa Inggeris ni ternyata lebih bebas dan tidak ketat peraturannya.
