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. Over the course of his lifetime, he became one of Japan's most celebrated poets. Today, his spare poems of spiritual longing and aching identification with the natural world continue to inspire fathomless, ineffable emotion in readers all over the world.
With 193 poems on 11 themes like the moon, journeys, mountain abodes, love, and the dreamlike world, Blossom Awakening reveals Saigyo as a spiritual seeker who gave his life to the artist's path. Translators Peter Levitt and Kazuaki Tanahashi present their English renderings with the original Japanese text and offer commentary that illuminates the political, religious, and literary dimensions of Saigyo's life and work.
