In 1958, ''An Introduction to Haiku: An Anthology of Poems and Poets from Bashô to Shiki'' by [[Harold G. Henderson]] was published by Doubleday Anchor Books. This book was a revision of Henderson's earlier book titled ''The Bamboo Broom'' (Houghton Mifflin, 1934). After World War II, Henderson and Blyth worked for the [[Occupation of Japan|American Occupation in Japan]] and for the [[Imperial House of Japan|Imperial Household]], respectively, and their shared appreciation of haiku helped form a bond between the two.

Henderson translated every hokku and haiku into a [[rhyme scheme|rhymed]] [[tercet]] (ABA), whereas the Japanese originals never used rhyme. Unlike Yasuda, however, he recognized that 17 syllables in English are generally longer than the 17 ''on'' of a traditional Japanese haiku. Because the normal modes of English poetry depend on accentual meter rather than on syllabics, Henderson chose to emphasize the order of events and images in the originals.<ref>{{Cite book|title=An introduction to haiku : an anthology of poems and poets from Bashō to Shiki|last=Henderson|first=Harold G.|date=1958|publisher=Anchor Books|isbn=9780385052252|pages=viii|oclc=857309735}}</ref> Nevertheless, many of Henderson's translations were in the five-seven-five pattern.
