Haiku of Yosa Buson   (1716-1783)


  Into a noblelman,
 a fox has changed himself --
    early evening of spring.

   With sorrow
 while coming upon the hill --
   flowering wild roses.

  The rain of May -- 
 facing toward the big river,
   houses, just two of them.
    

             clidk here


  Lengthening days,
accumulating, and recalling
   the days of distant past.

  The big gateway's
   heavy doors, standing
   in the dusk of spring.


             clidk here


  I go out alone
  to visit a man alone
   in this autumn dusk.

 Plum-blossoms everywhere,
   I should go south,
    I should go north.

   Leaves some trout,
    Knocks, goes on,
    The evening gate.


             clidk here


   All night long,
   Without a sound, 
  Rain on the straw seed^hags..
   
 
             clidk here


 At the bottom of the hot water
   My legs  I see,
    This morning of autumn.

  An old man 
   Cutting pamps grass 
   The wind behind him.

   With the rains of June, 
    The muddy waters Dash 
  into the deep blue ocean.


            click here


   Shining on the sea…
    dazzling sunlight 
     shaking over hills 
    of cherry-bloom .

  The kankodori;
   A temple is seen, 
    Bakurinji by name.

 The cricket
 Climbs up the pot hanger:
   The night is cold.


             click here


 The willow leaves fallen,
  the spring gone dry,
   rocks here and there.

  Four or five men dance 
            in a circle.
   Above them
 The moon is about to drop
