The Four Seasons Japanese Haiku Second Series 1958 HC 1st Ed. Humor Witty Drama - K3

Woodblock Prints

Matsuo Bashō, born 松尾金作, then Matsuo Chūemon Munefusa, was the most famous poet of the Edo period in Japan. Basho (1644-1694) made about 1000 haiku poems in his lifetime with the jouney around Japan. His writing “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” is the most famous haiku collection in Japan.

Kobayashi Issa was a Japanese poet known for his haiku poems and journals. He is regarded as one of the four haiku masters in Japan, along with Bashō, Buson and Shiki. Reflecting the popularity and interest in Issa as man and poet, Japanese books on Issa outnumber those on Buson, and almost equal those on Bashō.
Although better known by his pen name Issa, he was born Kobayashi Yataro in 1763 on a farm in central Japan.
