5.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended to students of Asian philosophy & poetry.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Old Taoist (Hardcover)
Translations of and commentary on one author's Taoist poems are presented in a warm blend of spiritual, religious and philosophical inspection which considers the last of the great poet-painters of Japan. Over 150 of his poems are treated to an appraisal which considers both form and content in a fine coverage worthy of inclusion in any strong Asian collection.

A Gentle absorbing study,

This review is from: Old Taoist (Paperback)
A good, continually absorbing study of a contemporary though tradtional Japanese poet names Kodojin(d. 1943). The writing style holds one's interest throughout and the story of the poet's life along with his poems,paintings and drawings is always delightful and interesting. If you love Japanese haiku by such masters as Bassho and chinese poetry from the Tang you will find this study worthy of your attention. I have never read a book quite like it.
