'Chiyo-Ni (1703-1775) is one of Japan's most unusual and renowned haiku poets, and this volume, the first major translation of her work in English, contains over 100 haiku, reproduced in Japanese script, Romaji, and in English. Chiyo-ni was one of the very few great female poets from an age when haiku was dominated by men. Her verses embody Zen-like simplicity and female sensuality, and reflect her life as a Buddhist nun, painter and poet who lived a life of supreme independence and aesthetic sensibility.' B&W illustrations throughout. Previous owner marked copy with occasional interior green highlighting, underlining, and front end page inscription. Record # 33603
