- Abstract:
- A disillusioning experience with Donald Keene coincided with an invitation from a haiku journal to write a feature article clarifying essential features of haiku that are not beyond the capacity of non-Japanese to create in Japanese and other languages.
- Notes:
- The feature included haiku by the author on a different page, which the publisher said were the best he had ever seen. A fuller collection with the Chinese characters can be found in the Bilingual Haiku Scroll under Poetry in the author's profile, which includes an introduction and seasonal photos of Kyoto.
