Joji's book of Haiku

Where it all began. :')

When I was an exchange student living in Tokyo, I started writing haiku. I wrote poems out by hand and make books like these.

I'd share my haiku with Japanese friends and people I met in clubs and bars, and sometimes write haiku together.

I always wanted to someday print my books.

Two years later, I self-published my first book 'Joji's book of haiku'.

First edition printed in August 2017

112 pages, 200 copies, printed in Taipei.

And then reprinted in 2019 with the new title:

'Joji's Japan - 1st book of haiku'

Second edition printed in July 2019.
