Japanese Prints

A 1918 collection of poetry by John Gould Fletcher, with illustrations by Dorothy Pulis Lathrop, inspired by Japanese prints. The book includes a preface on Japanese poetic forms, particularly the hokku of Basho, urging English-language poets to learn from the Orient's spare, suggestive use of language.
