Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A fresh translation of the classical Buddhist poetry of Saigyo, the wandering monk whose aesthetics of nature, love, and sorrow became foundational to the Japanese poetic tradition. Saigyo, the Buddhist name of Fujiwara no Norikiyo (1118-1190), is one of Japan's most famous and beloved poets. He was a recluse monk who spent much of his life wandering and seeking after the Buddhist way. Combining his love of poetry with his spiritual evolution produced beautiful, lyrical lines infused with a Buddhist perception of the world. Gazing at the Moon presents over 100 of Saigyo's tanka --traditional 31-syllable poems--newly translated into English by renowned translator Meredith McKinney. This selection of poems conveys Saigyo's story of Buddhist awakening, reclusion, seeking, enlightenment, and death, embodying throughout the Japanese aesthetic ideal of mono no aware --or sadness of change. McKinney's translation expresses the depth and complexity of Saigyo's poems through linguistic and syntactical ambiguity. Those interested in personal transformation, connection to nature, and vivid, imaginative language will find this an essential collection of poetry.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pause, breathe, and savor the quiet beauty of Saigyo, one of Japan's most quintessential poets, in this celebration of nature and Buddhist insight.Pause, breathe, and savor the quiet beauty of Saigyo, one of Japan's most quintessential poets, in this celebration of nature and Buddhist insight.Born in the twelfth century during a time of great political upheaval and warfare, Saigyo made the unusual decision in his youth to resign from his respectable post as a guard to the emperor's family and pursue a life of Buddhist renunciation, wilderness wandering, and poetry. Over the course of his lifetime, he became one of Japan's most celebrated poets. Today, his spare poems of spiritual longing and aching identification with the natural world continue to inspire fathomless, ineffable emotion in readers all over the world.With 193 poems on 11 themes like the moon, journeys, mountain abodes, love, and the dreamlike world, Blossom Awakening reveals Saigyo as a spiritual seeker who gave his life to the artist's path. Translators Peter Levitt and Kazuaki Tanahashi present their English renderings with the original Japanese text and offer commentary that illuminates the political, religious, and literary dimensions of Saigyo's life and work. "A introduction to the life of Saigyo, from his day job as court minister in the throes of political maneuvering, to the renunciant poet he became"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
