Japanese haiku is one of the world's best-known and loved types of poetry, requiring 17 phonetic sounds, a sense of cutting images or ideas, and a reference to a season. Haiku features 90 classic works spanning more than two centuries, from four writers: Matsuo Bashō, Yosa Buson, Kobayashi Issa, and Masaoka Shiki. Each verse is presented in Japanese script, along with Romanized Japanese (romaji) and an English translation.
