Mountain Flowers Bloom in the Sea: Solar Terms and Flowers in Haiku Paintings
by (japan) Matsuo Basho And Xiewu Village Masaoka Shiki And Others
About This Novel
Select Japanese haiku masterpieces based on the twenty-four solar terms of intangible cultural heritage. The twenty-four solar terms originated from ancient China and were later introduced to Japan and South Korea in the east. In 2016, they were successfully applied for World Heritage status and are a common cultural heritage of all countries in East Asia. Whether in China or Japan, there are many poets and haiku artists who have experienced the infinite poetry in the cycle of seasons and left many masterpieces. This book carefully selects more than 200 haiku related to solar terms written by great haiku masters such as Matsuo Basho, Yosei Wucun, and Masaoka Shiki. About ten are selected for each solar term. Each Japanese haiku is accompanied by fifty-syllable phonetic notations. There are also two translations by senior translator Wang Zhongyi and Japanese scholar Wang Yan in the form of 575-style Chinese haiku and seven-character two-sentence Chinese poetry, for readers to open-ended reading. Spring is born, summer is long, autumn is harvested and winter is stored. I hope these haiku poems that echo the landscapes and scenery in different solar terms can make you feel a warm and poetic feeling.
