They have a baked goods table at the Fredericton Boyce Farmers' Market with delicious gluten-free baked goods.

And I just saw a POST for what will be at the market tomorrow !

Rexroth Yosano Akiko error


Here is a snap from Google Books showing the error in my print edition of Rexroth 1976 : oka and yūhi have been transposed.

It is my belief that if the original Japanese version had been included, a Japanese proof-reader would have caught this error. in seeing the obvious : 夕日の岡に is yūhi no oka ni. And why the silly initial cap's in the roumaji transcription?

But will it be corrected in the Kindle edition ?

No such error is found on pg 55 of "Ferris Wheel", 2006, with

金色の ちひさき鳥の かたちして 銀杏ちるなり 夕日の岡に

less with more


Amazon is selling a "newer" edition of the Shiffert translations of Yosa Buson haiku in which the Japanese original has been dropped ... but errors have been introduced into the Latin character roumaji transcriptions which were "retainied" !!

If there is a case for an ebook, this is it.

The W.S. Merwin follows the available editions of Buson haikushuu fairly closely ... but with no Japanese other than more faithful transcriptions of the kanji and kana into roumaji.
