Issa's Haiku

The warm spring wind and my cow led me to pay a visit to Zenkoji Temple.



In the Summer Evening, Where is My Star Hidden in the Milky Way?


 
Quiteness---it is the summit of the clouds that can be seen at the bottom of the lake. "


On a Summer Day, with Cicadas Chirping, the Chikuma River Looks as Though It Flows Up to Heaven.




Look, don't kill that fly! It is making a prayer to you by rubbing its hands and feet.


The fall moon and a child crying to get it.



This is my final dwelling, buried now in five-foot snow.




Trying to sit right next to the person you love, at the warm fireplace.






Issa's Residence (actually the warehouse where he lived after the town fire, a year before his death)
