Este libro presenta una colección de haikus clásicos de los cuatro poetas japoneses más importantes de los siglos XVII, XVIII y XIX: Basho, Buson, Issa y Shiki. Los haikus son poemas breves pero intensos que contienen descripciones visuales de pequeños instantes en la vida de sus autores. El libro incluye un análisis de la historia y los antecedentes de estos poemas para facilitar su interpretación y disfrute. Los haikus, con sus diecisiete sílabas originales en japonés, expresan mundos de profunda emoción y lucidez filosófica. A pesar de su aparente sencillez, poseen una complejidad fascinante y un atractivo universal.
