Description

Haiku, Other Arts, and Literary Disciplines investigates the genesis and development of haiku in Japan and determines the relationships of haiku with other arts, such as essay, painting, and music, as well as the backgrounds of haiku, such as literary movements, philosophies, and religions that underlie haiku composition.

By analyzing the poets who played major roles in the development of haiku and its related geners, these essays illustrate how Japanese haiku poets, and American writers such as Emerson and Whitman, were inspired by nature, especially its beautiful scenes and seasonal changes.

Western poets had a demonstrated affinity for Japanese haiku, which bled over into other art mediums, as these chapters discuss.
