At around the age of 20  he moved to Edo (now Tokyo) and learned poetry under the tutelage of the haikai master Hayano Hajin. After Hajin died  and following in the footsteps of his idol  Matsuo Bash  Buson travelled through the wilds of northern Honsh that had been the inspiration for Bashs famous travel diary  Oku no Hosomichi (The Narrow Road to the Interior). He published his notes from the trip in 1744  marking the first time he published under the name Buson. After travelling through various parts of Japan  including Tango and Sanuki  Buson settled down in the city of Kyoto. He married at the age of 45 and had one daughter  Kuno. From this point on  he remained in Kyoto  writing and teaching poetry at the Sumiya. Buson died at the age of 68 and was buried at Konpuku-ji in Kyoto. This new translation of Busons verse will be of great interest to all who admire haiku  and especially the work of The Great Four  Basho  Issa  Shiki and Buson.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666223194165,"sku":"ByrdShop_090103259X","price":69.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780901032591.jpg?v=1782423866","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-haiku-of-yosa-buson-9780901032591","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
