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.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1960. 24pp. Tipped in colour plates and a few b&w illustrations. "The artists of Japan were often skilled in poetry. One such was Yosa Buson (1716-1783), who was famous both for his pictures in the Chinese style and his verses in the Japanese form called haiku. His artistic manner derives from that of the scholar painters of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century China. He is with Taiga (1723-1776), one of the two most outstanding exponents of this bunjinga (scholars' painting) in Japan in the eighteenth century. There is no dry academicism in his work. The Chinese discipline of painting has never found in Japan an interpreter of greater poetic sensibility. Its perennial vitality is demonstrated in the stimulus it afforded to his genius." From 'The Faber Gallery of Oriental Art' series. Some minor shelf wear to jacket. The booklet is in excellent condition with no inscriptions.

Laid in in is an 11-page supplement, printing three poems by Yosa Buson (1716-1784), translated by William J. Higginson and Tadashi Kondo. In their afterword, the translators note that they believe that this is the first appearance in English of two of the poems"Lament for Hokuju R?sen" and "A Lyric of Sluggish River"and that the third, "Spring Breeze Horse Levee Tune," had only appeared "in a muddy translation and confusing layout" in a book then out print.
