Bashi, the 17th-century Japanese poet and diarist, was a great
master of haiku. This verse form, of 17 syllables divided into
three lines of five, seven and five syllables, is a spare, intense
poetic utterance, often invoking nature. Lucien Stryk's elegant
translations do not reproduce the numbered syllables in English,
but dive to the heart of the meaning. (Kirkus UK)
These 253 selections reveal Basho’s mastery of the genre.
