Author Notes:An important haiku poet of the Edo Period, Issa wrote in the style of Basho, but cultivated a particular simplicity of expression and emotion. His was a life of hardship filled with personal tragedies, and yet his writings reveal an unexpected streak of humor. His literary output, not large, is divided between collections of haiku and diaries based either on his travels throughout Japan or events in his family life.
