A felicitous pairing of translator and text. Like the former Poet Laureate Robert Hass, who edited the volume, these three Japanese masters -- Basho (1644-1694), Buson (1716-1783) and Issa (1763-1827) -- looked out of their windows often and in many moods. They wrote glintingly, but deeply, of the natural world and their places therein.
