Oh! How incredibly lovely! This is a collection of "waka" a form of Japanese poetry written by a Buddhist nun named Rengetsu. The poems are organized by season and are stunning! The Introduction and Afterword are excellent accompaniments in terms of the biography of the poet and the offering of insights into Buddhist practice and symbolism. This is a collection which I will keep close at hand to enjoy throughout the year.
