Thank you for viewing. This is Volume 45 of the Nihon Koten Bungaku Taikei (Anthology of Japanese Classical Literature). It was annotated by Tokuzo Otani and others. It contains a selection of 842 haiku. It is approximately A4 size. Published in 1962. It is 3.5 cm thick and has 538 pages. The original price was 800 yen. There is deterioration due to aging. The spine of the box is discolored. The obi (paper band) has tears. The inside is believed to be clean. Please understand that this book is a used book with age-related wear and tear. We apologize, but we ask that those who are sensitive to such issues refrain from purchasing. The book is thick and cannot be sent via Nekopos (a Japanese delivery service), hence the price. #MatsuoBasho #Basho #Haiku #CollectionOfHaiku #IwanamiShoten #NihonKotenBungakuTaikei
