Paperback. Condición: Good. Pause, breathe, and savor the quiet beauty of Saigyo, one of Japan's most quintessential poets, in this celebration of nature and Buddhist insight. Born in the twelfth century during a time of great political upheaval and warfare, Saigyo made the unusual decision in his youth to resign from his respectable post as a guard to the emperor's family and pursue a life of Buddhist renunciation, wilderness wandering, and poetry.

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A fresh translation of the classical Buddhist poetry of Saigyo, the wandering monk whose aesthetics of nature, love, and sorrow became foundational to the Japanese poetic tradition. Saigyo, the Buddhist name of Fujiwara no Norikiyo (1118-1190), is one of Japan's most famous and beloved poets. He was a recluse monk who spent much of his life wandering and seeking after the Buddhist way. Combining his love of poetry with his spiritual evolution produced beautiful, lyrical lines infused with a Buddhist perception of the world. Gazing at the Moon presents over 100 of Saigyo's tanka --traditional 31-syllable poems--newly translated into English by renowned translator Meredith McKinney. This selection of poems conveys Saigyo's story of Buddhist awakening, reclusion, seeking, enlightenment, and death, embodying throughout the Japanese aesthetic ideal of mono no aware --or sadness of change. McKinney's translation expresses the depth and complexity of Saigyo's poems through linguistic and syntactical ambiguity. Those interested in personal transformation, connection to nature, and vivid, imaginative language will find this an essential collection of poetry.
