On Love and Barley by Matsuo Bashō

On Love and Barley by Matsuo Bashō

This collection gathers haiku from Bashō, the seventeenth-century poet most responsible for elevating the form into serious literary art, capturing fleeting natural moments — a frog's splash, autumn wind, a traveller's solitude — with extraordinary compression and precision.

Bashō's haiku draw heavily on Zen Buddhist sensibility, finding profound meaning in transient, ordinary moments rather than grand subjects, and this translation preserves the spare, suggestive quality that makes his work endure across centuries and languages.

A classic collection from the poet who defined haiku as a serious literary form.
