Synopsis:
Basho stands today as Japan's most renowned writer and one of its most revered. Every new student of haiku soon learns that Basho was the greatest of the old Japanese masters. Yet despite his stature, Basho's complete haiku have not been collected before under one cover - until now. To render his full body of work in English - featuring all 1,012 of his haiku, translator Reichhold dedicated over ten years of study. Dividing his creative output into seven periods of development, Reichhold frames each period with a decisive biographical sketch of the poet's travels, creative influences and personl triumphs and defeats.
Includes detailed notes on each haiku, an insightful biography of Basho, a comprehensive discussion of his poetic techniques, and the original Japanese accompanied by word-for-word translation.
"At the time of his death, in 1694, Basho had more than seventy disciples, and about two thousand associates who had accepted and aligned themselves with his teachings. On the one-hundredth anniversary of his death the Shinto religious headquarters honoured him by canonizing him as a deity. He alone is known as a "haisei", the saint of haiku. Today he is recognized as a genius." Jane Reichold. |
