Translated by Peter Beilenson, this beautiful volume shares verses from haiku masters Basho, Buson, Issa, Shiki, and more.
A favorite from each season:
Spring
Cherry-petal days…
Birds with two legs
Glitter now
Horses gleam with four
- Onitsura
Summer
As I picked it up
To cage it…
The firefly
Lit my finger-tips
- Taigi
Fall
Nightlong in the cold
That monkey sits
Conjecturing
How to catch the moon
- Shiki
Winter
Midnight wanderer
Walking through
The snowy street…
Echoing dog-bark
- Shiki
Peter Pauper Press, 1958
