App Detail » Haiku - The poetic key of Japan

App Description

NOTICE--Performance tested for iOS4. Display is optimized for iPhone3GS device and former version.

Haiku is a Japanese poem consisting of seventeen syllables.

We make a new iPhone App from PIE BOOKS's '' Haiku'' of a Japanese traditional culture series.
The book ''Haiku'' is also popular in foreign countries.
A beautiful Japanese nuance of seventeen syllables and the Japanese landscapes' photos in all seasons by Hiromichi Inoue.
It's an anthology of the Haiku and photos.

We introduce Haiku and the explanation with a translation into English,
so even some people who don't know Haiku well and the foreigners can enjoy it.

For example, when you are waiting for your friend at cafe or waiting for a train and bus,
in that kind of free time, let's trip to the Japanese style world!


We will make the other app from Japanese traditional culture series ''Japanese sweets'' '' Manyo-shu'.
published by PIE BOOKS soon.
Please look forward to it, too.
