Basho and His Interpreters: Selected Hokku with Commentary by Makoto Ueda

5.0

If you have to read one book on haiku all year, this is the one to read. In depth 'discussion' between commentators of Basho's haikus throughout the ages. Top notch book. I've read this one several times, and I plan on going back and rereading it again and again. Every time through, I gain additional insight on Basho's haikus.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Basho, he singlehandedly made haiku a respectable art. He was a master craftsman and to this day is the greatest haiku master of all times.
