Twenty Japanese poems about animals translated into English by The Empress Michiko of Japan. Cut-paper illustrations accompany verses about such creatures as butterflies, swans, and zebras.
For centuries the Japanese court has patronized the art of poetry and participated in the composition of the traditional native verse form waka. This book is a collection of poetry by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko who have continued this legacy.
