Description: Title: On Love and Barley: Haiku of Basho Author: Basho, Matsuo Publisher: Penguin Group Binding: Paperback Pages: 92 Dimensions: 7.76h x 5.08w x 0.26d Product Weight: 0.17 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780140444599 Basho, one of the greatest of Japanese poets and the master of haiku, was also a Buddhist monk and a life-long traveller. His poems combine 'karumi', or lightness of touch, with the Zen ideal of oneness with creation. Each poem evokes the natural world - the cherry blossom, the leaping frog, the summer moon or the winter snow - suggesting the smallness of human life in comparison to the vastness and drama of nature. Basho himself enjoyed solitude and a life free from possessions, and his haiku are the work of an observant eye and a meditative mind, uncluttered by materialism and alive to the beauty of the world around him.
