Description

Excellent collection of 52 old Tanzaku / Waka / Haiku poem cards.
The haikus are from different classical poets.
I have not had any of the poems translated.
Haiku poems are written on the cards in a very cursive style.
The cursive style is very difficult to translate.
Six of the cards are also signed / inscribed on the back (they are the last two photos).  I had them translated below:
