| Books from
Hokuseido |
| THE
HOKUSEIDO PRESS, established in 1914, is one of Japan's oldest
publishers of English
books. Today it also publishes many middle and advanced textbooks to
help Japanese students learn English, but here at kk imcbook we
focus on offering Hokuseido's
famous books by R. H. Blyth on
haiku poetry, zen and buddhism. R H Blyth was born in Essex, England
and emigrated to Japan where he became Professor of English Literature
and tutor to Crown Prince (now Emperor) Akihito. See the end of this
sheet for further explanation and ordering/payment options.
pp=paperback, p=pages, mm=millimeters, g=grams. Price includes
consumption tax (shohizei). Shipping is extra. Many of Blyth's books are no longer in stock but may be found using the Google and Amazon links. Most of Blyth's books are now considered "rare" and sell at a premium price, not the listed price. |
