Yosa Buson quotes:

in my garden I pick a musk melon feeling like a thief

In the spring rain, The pond and the river Have become one.

Lighting one candle from another - Winter night

In lantern-light My yellow Chrysanthemums Lost all their color

Calligraphy of geese against the sky- the moon seals it.

The sea at springtime.All day it rises and falls,yes, rises and falls.

Young leaves The sound of a waterfall Heard from far and near.

In pale moonlight / the wisteria's scent / comes from far away.

Grasses are misty, The waters silent- A tranquil evening.

The spring sea rising and falling, rising and falling all day.

Throw open your window and let the scenery of clouds and sky enter your room.

White dew- one drop on each thorn

Lighting one candle

In the water bucket a melon and an eggplant nodding to each other

I came to the flowers; I slept beneath them; this was my leisure.

The end of spring- the poet is brooding about editors.

What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see. You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.
