This bilingual haiku collection is the twenty-eighth haiku anthology originally written by this author, as inspired by Hōjō-ki ('journal of a 100-square-foot hut, ' 1212) by Kamo no Chōmei (1155-July 1216). Hōjō-ki is considered one of The Three Great Essays in Japanese classic literature. Chōmei, a monk/poet, lived a reclusive life on the outskirts of the capital Kyoto in the early Kamakura period. His poignant essays reflect his profound insight into life and the world against the backdrop of a series of natural disasters that struck the capital and the protracted battles between the reigning Heike clan and revenging Genji clan.
This haiku collection (2022) presents 88 original haikus by this author, along with a summary and annotations for each essay in Hōjō-ki.
