Description: **** VERY GOOD CONDITION ADULT OWNED / SMOKE FREE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE INQUIRE Cherry Blossoms Japanese Haiku Series III Basho Buson Issa + 1960 HC 1st Ed. Wisdom Drama Insight - K3 Step into a series of dazzling, funny, melancholy, and joyous moments with this collection of haiku masterworks. Beloved translator Peter Beilensons goals were twofold: to craft a book of haiku accessible to anyone, and to render his best guess at what the poets would have written in English. His translations preserve the sublime spirit of each verse, conjuring vivid visual and emotional impressions in spare words. Haiku icon Basho is represented amply here, as are imagery-virtuoso Buson and wry, warm, painfully human Issa. The verses of Shiki, Joso, Kyorai, Kikaku, Chora, Gyodai, Kakei, Izen, and others also appear, all illuminated by lovely woodblock prints. From the peaceful (Moonlight nightingale/Casts a whistling line of sound/Over the millpondBasho) to the lively (Sudden radiance/After October rainstorm/Re-reddened peppersBuson) to the downright absurd (Ah sacred swallow/Twittering from your nest in/Great Buddhas nostrilIssa), this collection will stir your senses and your heart. In Japan cherry-blossoms are a favorite subject of paintings and poems, and are indeed a symbol to the Japanese people Woodblock Prints Matsuo Bash, born , then Matsuo Chemon Munefusa, was the most famous poet of the Edo period in Japan. Basho (1644-1694) made about 1000 haiku poems in his lifetime with the jouney around Japan. His writing The Narrow Road to the Deep North is the most famous haiku collection in Japan. Kobayashi Issa was a Japanese poet known for his haiku poems and journals. He is regarded as one of the four haiku masters in Japan, along with Bash, Buson and Shiki. Reflecting the popularity and interest in Issa as man and poet, Japanese books on Issa outnumber those on Buson, and almost equal those on Bash. Although better known by his pen name Issa, he was born Kobayashi Yataro in 1763 on a farm in central Japan.
