Haiku of Yosa Buson   (1716-1783)


SPRING


   In the spring sea 
  Waves undulating and
   undulating
    All day long.

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

SUMMER


   A flying cuckoo, 
  over the Heian capital, 
goes diagonally
    across the city

   Coolness! 
  The sound of the bell
   Leaving the bell.

     
             clidk here


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

     
             clidk here


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

AUTUMN


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

              click here


    It penetrates into me;
   stepping on the comb
   of my gone wife, 
  in the bedroom.

WINTER


   Blow of an ax, 
  Pine scent, 
   The winter woods.
       

              click here


   Camphor tree roots 
  are quietly getting wet,
   in the winter rainy air
