This volume belongs to the Yellow Band (Classical Japanese Literature) of the Iwanami Bunko classification system.This collection presents the haiku of Yosa Buson (1716-1784), celebrated as one of the four great masters of haiku alongside Basho, Issa, and Shiki. Buson, who was also a distinguished painter in the literati (bunjin) tradition, brought a uniquely visual and painterly sensibility to his poetry, creating verses of extraordinary pictorial beauty and imaginative range. This volume includes the famous Shunpu Batei Kyoku (Spring Breeze on the Kema Embankment) and other extended poetic works that demonstrate his mastery of both lyrical compression and narrative scope.
