Haiku poems about the natural world and the seasons are well known,
but many poets have used the genre to capture the evocations of
love. Combining elegant and restrained haiku with lively senryu
poems, all aspects of romantic love are explored here with humour,
satire, wit and compassion. Poems by both men and women from the
1600s to the present day are beautifully illustrated with images
from the unrivalled collection of Japanese paintings and prints in
the British Museum. From the tender and the melanch oly to the
witty and the ribald, the poems and images in Haiku: Love comment
on the most universal of human emotions.
