The Kanshi Poem of Taigu Ryokan
Here is a tri-lingual translation of famed Japanese poet Taigu Ryokan (1758-1831) in original Chinese, Japanese, and English. A distant contemporary of Emerson and Thoreau, his journal poems record his lively and mindful Zen spirit. "These poems, wise and direct, have been rightly treasured for centuries because of the way the expand the mind and refresh the spirit. That is their nature in their original language, and Smith and Huang have managed, with great care and affection, to recreate that nature in English." -David Young
