Small 4to. Size: 19.3 x 15 cm. Pp. 25. With five woodblock-printed illustrations. Original decorated paper-covered boards. First English edition of the prose poem "Nekomachi" by Hagiwara Sakutarô. He is sometimes considered the "Father of modern colloquial poetry" in Japan because of his new, unique style of free-verse that differs from the traditional rules. Sakutarô himself once described his poetry as expressions of his "soul's nostalgia" for those moments in life that inspired him to write. The work has been translated into English by George Saitô, also including an introduction by him. The binding and the b/w plates are illustrated by Sumio Kawakami, a great Japanese woodblock-print artist in the 20th century. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 120918
