内容説明
"The problem came to a head one day as I was driving through Tokyo. While waiting for the light to change, I saw the following public service announcement on the side of a bus: " Omoiyari hitonikurumani konomachini "(Sympathy / toward people, toward cars / toward this town). Seventeen syllables. Five-seven-five format. It must be a haiku, I thought. But when I reached the office and repeated the announcement to my Japanese coworkers, none of them thought it was a haiku. I knew they were thinking to themselves, " What kind of a lunatic is she? "One tried to break the news to me gently, " It's not a haiku, it's an advertising jingle. "Well, I knew it was an advertising jingle, but still, wasn't it an advertising jingle" haiku?--From "The Haiku Apprentice"
Abigail Friedman was an American diplomat in Tokyo, not a writer. A chance encounter leads her to a haiku group, where she discovers poetry that anyone can enjoy writing. Her teacher and fellow haiku group members instruct her in seasonal flora and fauna, and gradually she learns to describe the world in plain words, becoming one of the millions in Japan who lead a haiku life. This is the author's story of her literary and cultural voyage, and more: it is an invitation to readers to form their own neighborhood haiku groups and, like her, learn to see the world anew.
..".A deft and seamless merging of genres: at once memoir, travel literature, and an unpretentious guide onto the terrain of Japanese poetry. It will appeal not just to poetry lovers, but to all readers who are curious about the world beyond their own borders." -- "Foreword Magazine"
"Friedman is an appealing guide through an alternate Japan where modern people make poems about teacups and temples but also about skyscrapers and kidney surgery." -- "East Bay Express"
"The book is not designed to make the reader a poet, but it does, perhaps, help us to pay more attention to our poetical eye." -- "BiblioBuffet"
"The Haiku Apprentice gives the reader an original, thoughtful and personal glimpse of one expat's productive encounter with Japan." -- "Metropolis"
..".Notable for its frankness and enthusiasm...Friedman has made a lively narrative out of the things she learned..." "-- The Japan Times"

Journey into Haiku
2006/8/17
形式:ペーパーバック
The Haiku Apprentice is the joyous story of an American diplomat's journey into the realm of haiku while living in Japan. More than that, it is an account of spiritual and political self-scrutiny. Abigail Friedman is a marvelous narrator, and I find it easy to enter her world. Friedman's descriptions are vibrant, while her down-to-earth wit spices the narrative, which is consistently intelligent and sharp.
This writer is careful not to leave linguistic stumbling blocks. She opens doors for less experienced readers, with lucid explanations of Japanese words, pronunciations, and traditions. As Friedman describes her haiku education under the tutelage of Kuroda Momoko, one of Japan's most esteemed haiku masters, readers will surely find it impossible not to learn along with her. Every haiku student should read her discussions of kigo and Zen. She features contextually relevant haiku throughout, including some written by her fellow poets in Japan and a few by the author. Her translations of well-known haiku by the Old Masters invite readers to rediscover their timeless appeal. When seen again through Friedman's eyes, long-familiar poems are newly inspiring.
After the author joins a haiku group, she shares a new awareness regarding haiku poets: "Perhaps all these people had discovered something I was just now learning; that survival in an increasingly complex world requires each of us to tend to our souls, our individuality, more than ever. I needed to nurture my ability to see the world as I saw it, not as others might see it."
Abigail Friedman ends the story of her haiku quest with perhaps her most important insights: "My new name was a reminder to me that haiku is not just about writing about beauty, but is a path of self-discovery. I could not expect to write good haiku if I was not seeking to be true to myself."
This book is delightfully accessible, regardless of the reader's experience (or lack of it) with poetry or Japanese language and culture. I recommend The Haiku Apprentice, not only to haiku aficionados, but also to anyone who enjoys a good read. - Ferris Gilli, Associate Editor, The Heron's Nest

In A Category By Itself

The sheer loveliness of the prose in The Haiku Apprentice makes this such a delight. Side by side, we stroll through Japan with Friedman, as she (we) realise that haiku is not just poetry but "a way". Other reviewers have supplied details, however, a few quotes struck me and made me relax in my own endeavours; from Momoko, her Master: "Why would you expect your first haiku about your stone lantern to succeed...After you write a hundred haiku about your lantern, maybe then a good one will emerge." Or Mr. Furuhata -
"So maybe the seasons speak to us more than any spiritual concept could." (importance of kigo) Finally, the purpose of haiku explained by "Traveling Tree Man" - " He explained how devoting himself to haiku had led him to change the way he approached life - now he took all the small corners of the world that presented themselves to him on their own terms." Whatever your involvement with haiku, The Haiku Apprentice is an excellent read. Highly recommended!

Ordinary things
2009/7/16
形式:ペーパーバック
What I particularly liked about this book is the author's humility. Abigail Friedman approaches haiku like a true novice, with an open mind and open heart, and finds beneath the customs of haiku clubs and writing formulas an essential humanity. What emerges here is the idea that haiku is an ordinary thing, and that we should all be more ordinary.
