A collection of poems on Japanese subjects by the British poet Gavin Bantock. The Japanese phrase for 'floating world' is 'uki-yo' and refers to the transitory world of human beings, which 'floats' because it is impermanent. On the cover is the famous wood-cut print (uki-yo-e, 'e' being the Japanese for 'picture') of a wave with Mount Fuji in the backgroud, with fishermen in boats struggling with the huge seas. This collection was a winner in a poetry-collection competition sponsored by Redbeck Press, and was published in 2002.
