Item description from seller

Stated 17th printing, 1969. An attractive edition in slipcase presenting an anthology of 320 Japanese Haiku verses, accompanied by 33 Haiku watercolor paintings. The verses have been rendered into English by Harold Stewart. The verses are organized by seasons of the year. --- In wheat and maroon coarse cloth-covered boards with decorated gilt arc to cover, spine titling in gilt. The entire volume is bound in the double fold technique (sometimes called Japanese fold or French fold) in which the fore-edges of the pages are not severed by the knife from adjoining leaves and all printing is on the outsides of these uncut leaves. Volume housed in green paper-covered slipcase. Lacks the original gold band. --- A tightly-bound, well-preserved copy but with sunning to spine. Slipcase is structurally sound, but with scuffing and sunning to extremities.; Small Octavo - 7-1/2 to 8 in. tall; [7], 8-180 pages.
