Product description

From the Inside Flap

Matsuo Basho (1644-94) was the greatest of the Japanese haiku poets. The vitality and flexibility his genius gave to the strict 17-syllable form brought haiku to a level of immaculate perfection.

In later life Basho turned to Zen Buddhism and the travel sketches in this volume reflect his attempts to cast off earthly attachments and reach out to spiritual fulfillment. The sketches are written in the haibun style--a linking of verse and prose. The title piece, in particular, reveals Basho striving to discover a vision of eternity in the transient world around him and is his personal evocation of the mysteries of the universe.

About the Author

Matsuo Basho, the Japanese poet and diarist, was born in Iga-ueno near Kyoto in 1644. He began to write verse while studying as the companion of the son of the local lord, and continued to write when he moved to Edo (now Tokyo) in 1667. He eventually became a recluse, and on his travels relied on the hospitality of temples and fellow poets. His work was much influenced by Zen Buddhism.

Nobuyuki Yuasa taught English at the University of Hiroshima.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 4 January 2021
It is literally a travel suited book with travelogues and haiku poems for a light reading. I would rather get this another time when I am out in hill station. Not at home.

Thanks for the bookmark.

They put effort in making the cover quality good, to avoid detection, but inside is the cheap rough paper and blurry and rough print quality.

Have yet to read the book

I ordered a return-exchange, they sent a low quality pirated copy again
