Further Journeys with Bashō Learn Japanese through 25 More Haiku by Matsuo Bashō (1644-1694)
Haiku distills profound feeling into just a few words-and no poet exemplifies this art more than Matsuo Bashō. His verses capture fleeting beauty, seasonal change, and timeless human experience. Yet, outside Japan, most readers only encounter Bashō through translations, where much of the linguistic subtlety and cultural resonance is lost.
This book invites beginner to intermediate students of Japanese to enjoy Bashō's poetry in its original form while steadily improving their language skills. Building on the first volume, this collection explores 25 additional haiku, each presented with clear explanations and engaging support material.
Inside you'll find:
Multiple translations-from literal renderings to natural, interpretive versions
Commentary in Japanese and English-exploring grammar, nuance, and cultural context
Comprehensive vocabulary lists-with definitions and grammar notes for every term
Audio access via QR codes-hear each haiku and commentary read clearly
Downloadable MP3 files-perfect for offline study or relaxed listening
Whether you are a Japanese learner, a lover of haiku, or both, this book will deepen your understanding of Bashō's artistry and enrich your language journey.
What You'll Get
Read, hear, and understand 25 more of Bashō's classic haiku
Perfect for beginner to intermediate students of Japanese
Clear grammar explanations and cultural insights for every poem
Instant access to audio recordings, plus downloadable sound files
A beautifully designed continuation of the Learn Japanese with Haiku series
Step further along Bashō's poetic path-discover the elegance of his haiku while growing your vocabulary, grammar, and cultural knowledge.
