### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fantastic, spectacular, mind-blowing
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2021*

This is a well-translated, well-produced book. The poet is one of the 4 pillars of Haiku, and the book shows why, but it also shows the excellence of his Tanka and Kanshi. Honesty is what makes the poem work. Now, I wish they would sell this on Kindle.

    The Last Master
  

*by T***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2012*

Masaoka Shiki is recognized broadly as the most recent of Japan's haiku masters, and the last of the "big four" -- Basho, Issa, Buson, and Shiki.  He pioneered the influential realist technique in haiku known as "shasei", commonly translated as "sketch from life."  He had a life tragically shortened by an excruciating tuberculosis that left him bedfast most of the latter half of his life -- a fact that makes his poetic achievement all the more remarkable.  Shiki lived at a time when haiku and other traditional Japanese forms were being discarded by writers newly introduced to western poetry, who were eager to embrace the new and leave the old behind.  "Shasei" was Shiki's attempt to breathe life into the older forms.  Many of Shiki's haiku have the feel of photography when it captures life and time in moments of particular energy:washing green onions --where the meadow creekcomes into towncountry road --boys whacking at a snake,barley-harvest timeMy summer jacketwants to get rid of meand fly awaysudden downpour --and all these maidshauling out storm shuttersTranslated by the renowned Asian scholar Burton Watson, this collection is a masterful grouping both of Shiki's haiku and his five-line tanka.  For haiku readers and devotees, this is essential reading.
