<b>Pause, breathe, and savor the quiet beauty of Saigy&#333;,one of Japan's most quintessential poets, in this celebration of nature and Buddhist insight.</b><br/><br/>Born in the twelfth century during a time of great political upheaval and warfare, Saigy&#333; made the unusual decision in his youth to resign from his respectable post as a guard to the emperor&rsquo;s family and pursue a life of Buddhist renunciation, wilderness wandering, and poetry. Over the course of his lifetime, he became one of Japan&rsquo;s most celebrated poets. Today, his spare poems of spiritual longing and aching identification with the natural world continue to inspire fathomless, ineffable emotion in readers all over the world.<br/><br/>With 193 poems on 11 themes like the moon, journeys, mountain abodes, love, and the dreamlike world, <i>Blossom Awakening</i> reveals Saigy&#333; as a spiritual seeker who gave his life to the artist&rsquo;s path. Translators Peter Levitt and Kazuaki Tanahashi present their English renderings with the original Japanese text and offer commentary that illuminates the political, religious, and literary dimensions of Saigy&#333;&rsquo;s life and work.
