"These poems origina…lly appeared in Only Companion: Japanese Poems of Love and Longing, by Sam Hamill, Shambhala Publications, 1997, and in the Virginia Quarterly Review . The Japanese version was handwritten from Romaji into Hiragana by Eriko Takahashi, and printed on a Vandercook press just as the type, composed by Michael and Winifred Bixler in Monotype Van Dijck. Calligraphic images were printed in relief from ink drawings. The paper is Kozuke, Japanese Mulberry and the cover paper is hand-dyed Fabriano." Saigy? Hosho (1118-1190) took Buddhist vows and became "one of Japan's most renown mountain hermits and a predominate figure in establishing Japan's long tradition of Buddhist nature poetry, a model and inspiration for Basho, Issa, Ryokan, and many others. These poems are translated from his 'waka,' short poems, in lines of 5-7-5-7-7, precursor to the Japanese tanka" (p. 7).
