Book Description:
With the utmost economy and skill, the haiku poet paints a vast mural on a narrow canvas. Working within the strict 17 syllable limits of the traditional Japanese form, Matsuo Basho (1644 1694) and other masters evoke elements of the natural world to conjure up timeless moods and emotions. This volume features dozens of Basho's poems as well as works by his predecessors and ten of his disciples Kikaku, Ransetsu, Joso, and Kyoroku among them. Intended principally for readers with no knowledge of Japanese literature, this treasury includes a transliteration of the original Japanese for each verse; most poems also include a brief explication.
