Condition: Nuevo. Aunque suele decirse que Basho es "el padre del haiku", el título le correspondería con más propiedad a Onitsura. El haiku de Ueshima Onitsura (1661-1738) podría definirse como de una insobornable sencillez. Efectivamente, no tardó en hacerse célebre entre los haijin su lema: "Sin autenticidad no hay haiku" (makoto no hoka ni haikai nashi). Y, sin embargo, en relación a su importancia, Ueshima Onitsura es, sin duda alguna, el gran desconocido de la historia del haiku japonés y su injusticia más manifiesta. Baste decir que, excepto en japonés, no existe ninguna edición de su obra en alguna otra lengua del mundo. Esta que ahora se publica en la colección "Libros de los Malos Tiempos" es la primera antología de la obra de Onitsura editada fuera de las fronteras de Japón. La edición ha sido dirigida por el mayor experto español en haikus, Vicente Haya (con la colaboración del profesor Yoshihiko Uchida y Akiko Yamada) quien, en esta misma colección, ya ha publicado la antología de Taneda Santoka titulada "El monje desnudo (100 haikus)".…

For centuries the japanese court has patronized the poetic art and participated in the composition of the traditional native verse form known as the walea. The great Imperial poetry anthologies of earlier centuries have defined the standards of excellence in japanese poetry and featured the contributions of the most gifted Japanese poets. Among them were many Emperors and Empresses, as well as other members of the Imperial family. Emperor Akihito and Empress Miehiko inherit this remarkable legacy and have preserved it with personal enthusiasm and literary mastery. Tomoshibi, which may be translated as "Light," is a collection of their verse, published in Japanese in 1986 and appearing here for the first time in English. As Crown Prince and Princess before their enthronement in 1990, the Emperor and Empress traveled extensively as ambassadors of good will for the Japanese people. Many of the Emperor's 166 poems and the Empress's 140 poems collected here were composed during their travels, and foreign climes and scenes are reflected in a fascinating manner. Other poems were composed for the annual New Year's Poetry Reading, and still others were composed to mark special events in the Japanese calendar or to record recollections of remarkable people. Painstakingly translated and annotated, the poems in Tomoshibi are indeed illuminating, revealing not only the depth and resonance of the Japanese poetic tradition but also of the characters and sensibilities of the Emperor and Empress with the immediacy that is poetry's special gift. "It is our hope," writes one of the editors of the collection, "that this Enghsh translation may lead to a better understanding of the Emperor and Empress, as also of Japan and its people. For it is their cultural traditions that, reflected in the literary activities of the Imperial family, reveal Japan as a land where beauty of spirit is expressed in song.". …
