naviarhaiku525 – vernal seas

vernal seas…
all day long swelling, falling
swelling, falling

by: Yosa Buson

525

One of the four great haiku masters, Yosa Buson studied both Japanese and Chinese poetry. He was also an accomplished painter, and most of his poems were accompanied by paintings, resulting in a more diverse and individual set of works than the one by his main historical influence, Basho.

This haiku was translated by Adam L. Kern.
