Maybe that is why it hasn't become so popular?Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-82062652821578741292008-12-04T08:38:00.000-05:002008-12-04T08:38:00.000-05:00here is 1982 (1986) editionhttp://www.amazon.com/M...here is 1982 (1986) edition<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Masaoka-Shiki-Janine-Beichman/dp/087011753X<BR/><BR/>and here the 2002 edition:<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Masaoka-Shiki-His-Life-Works/dp/0887273645<BR/><BR/>prices have lept<BR/>far beyond frog<BR/>far beyond moon<BR/><BR/><BR/>so much for our "mass" ('democratic' /'free-market' greedy kultsure, eh)<BR/><BR/>hey "we" just bailed out CITI Bank last week this week 9with the money) Citi bought CHEVY CHASE BANK!<BR/><BR/>go figure..Ed Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285310130024785775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-79144467700252487002008-12-04T08:16:00.000-05:002008-12-04T08:16:00.000-05:00Greg, glad you liked it - you can't beat the Dover...Greg, glad you liked it - you can't beat the Dover for a buck ...<BR/><BR/>Ed, thanks for all the notes - I've just now put the 2002 Beichman on interlibrary loan as our library system doesn't have it. So, you have provided fodder for a future Shiki post, though I don't know if by now I've put most folks to sleep or not. Also discovered that besides there being a formidable amount of Shiki in the 4 volume Blyth, there is even more in the two volume History of Haiku by Blyth, so I will probably do an all Blyth, all Shiki, all the time, post sometime also. The later is going to take some time to go through. Blyth has some interesting things to say, I began reading him last night.<BR/><BR/>DonIssa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-58314051577614730022008-12-04T07:57:00.000-05:002008-12-04T07:57:00.000-05:00Beichman's (bio of) Masaoka Shiki will shed much...Beichman's (bio of) Masaoka Shiki will shed much light on why Shiki was/is neglected.<BR/><BR/>Buson was (largely) ignored until Shiki and hsi followers "entered the scene"<BR/><BR/>Shiki was even today a pretty 'anti-establishment 'dude' <BR/><BR/>the second (2002) edition of Beichman's bio has many photos of Shiki...
