About the Author

An important haiku poet of the Edo Period, Issa wrote in the style of Basho, but cultivated a particular simplicity of expression and emotion. His was a life of hardship filled with personal tragedies, and yet his writings reveal an unexpected streak of humor. His literary output, not large, is mostrar mais divided between collections of haiku and diaries based either on his travels throughout Japan or events in his family life.

There are few Japanese Haiku I don't enjoy, whether I grasp them or feel them or not.

Kobayashi Issa tuvo una vida intensa en emociones y sentimientos. Fue monje budista de la Escuela Amida, pero también se casó tres veces y fue padre de familia. Esta doble experiencia vital: monacal y mundana, sin duda lo dotó de una sensibilidad muy fina, una especial empatía con la naturaleza y los animales ùsobre todo, los más menudosù, y una captación intuitiva del sentimiento de aware, ese asombro casi infantil que constituye uno de los ingredientes más esenciales del haiku.

I took a class from Robert Haas during my undergrad. He was a vague teacher but his lectures were careful, rigorous, and were often delivered with a gentleness that made what would otherwise be burdensome topics graceful. So it is with this collection of Haiku by Buson, Basho, and Issa. Among the projects he set forth in the this edition, Haas wanted to show through contrast, how each master's personality and style comes through their work however restricted the form. The effect of reading this collection is that the differences become clear:

Issa's comical voice:

I'm going out,
Flies, so relax,
Make love.


Buson's imagery:

The spring sea rising
and falling, rising
and falling all day.


Basho's philosophical melancholy:

First day of spring-
I keep thinking about
the end of Autumn.


I highly recommend this collection for anyone interested in the Haiku form. Though there are some cultural and translational fault lines mapping the boundaries of this style of poetry the main ideas come through, often in unexpected ways: a flash of imagery or setting will set off a spontaneous feeling of sorrow or happiness, frustration or guilt.
