"As the earliest to write haiku that were modern in both theme and subject, Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902) is a prominent figure in modern Japanese literature Born one year before the Meiji Restoration, he was in many ways a transitional figure, with his writings standing midway between the pre-modern and modern periods and his character and life shaped by both Janine Beichman takes care in this elucidating work not to overemphasize Shiki's popular image as a haiku poet, and informs readers about other important yet little-known aspects of Shiki's work Includes translations acclaimed for their sensitivity, as well as understandable literary analysis"
