Haiku Master Buson: Translations from the Writings of Yosa Buson - Poet and Artist - With Related Materials
Language: English
Published by Heian International, Inc., 1978
ISBN 10: 0893460125 ISBN 13: 9780893460129
Seller: Rons Bookshop (Canberra, Australia), Canberra, ACT, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. It is difficult to measure the influence of haiku on Western literature. One major contributor is Buson, an eighteenth century haijin; he was a poet, a painter, and a religionist. This representative work of Buson in English is one of the few significant contributions to the study and appreciation of the genuine activity of the practicing poet, as it is lived and felt in Japanese literature.
