Basho
A lavish collector’s edition of the complete poems of eminent Japanese master of the haiku, Matsuo Bashō. Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694) is arguably the greatest figure in the history of Japanese literature and the master of the haiku. Bashō: The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Bashō offers in English a full picture of the haiku of Bashō, 980 poems in all. In Fitzsimons’s beautiful rendering, Bashō is much more than a philosopher of the natural world and the leading exponent of a refined Japanese sensibility. He is also a poet of queer love and eroticism; of the city as well as the country, the indoors and the outdoors, travel and staying put; of lonesomeness as well as the desire to be alone. Bashō: The Complete Haiku of Matsuo Bashō reveals how this work speaks to our concerns today as much as it captures a Japan emerging from the Middle Ages. For dedicated scholars and those coming upon Bashō for the first time, this beautiful collector’s edition of Fitzsimons’s elegant award-winning translation, with the original Japanese, allows readers to enjoy these works in all their glory.
Bashō's Haiku
2005 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Basho's Haiku offers the most comprehensive translation yet of the poetry of Japanese writer Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694), who is credited with perfecting and popularizing the haiku form of poetry. One of the most widely read Japanese writers, both within his own country and worldwide, Bashō is especially beloved by those who appreciate nature and those who practice Zen Buddhism. Born into the samurai class, Bashō rejected that world after the death of his master and became a wandering poet and teacher. During his travels across Japan, he became a lay Zen monk and studied history and classical poetry. His poems contained a mystical quality and expresse...

The Clear Mirror
The Clear Mirror (Masukagami) is an account of Japanese history from 1185 to 1333 by an anonymous author, almost certainly a court noble writing around the third quarter of the fourteenth century. During this time, the military government at Kamakura controlled the country, maintaining the emperor with his court at Kyoto as symbolic head of state. Though the imperial court had little real power, it attempted to maintain as much of its former dignity and prestige as it could. The Clear Mirror is at least semi-fictionalized, promoting a picture of a court healthier and more powerful than it really was. Moreover, the work sees the court as guardian of its own traditional arts and lifestyle, and...

Centauros – Volume 1
Em Centauros, mangá de Ryo Sumiyoshi, acompanhamos uma aventura épica de fantasia ambientada em um Japão alternativo, onde humanos coexistem com seres míticos que são metade humano e metade cavalo, chamados de centauros ou "jimba". Antigamente, eles eram reverenciados como divindades, mas na Era Sengoku os humanos começaram a escravizá-los e usá-los para fins militares devido à sua velocidade, resistência e capacidade de comunicação na língua humana. Os centauros que viviam nas planícies foram rapidamente capturados e domesticados, mas muitos centauros das montanhas continuaram livres devido ao seu relativo isolamento. Matsukaze, um selvagem e orgulhoso centauro das montanhas, conhecido como "o ruivo", é capturado enquanto protegia seu filho e levado para as terras de um senhor feudal, onde conhece Kohibari, um centauro domesticado que teve seus braços amputados. Eles precisam superar suas diferenças e trabalhar juntos para escapar dos humanos e buscar uma vida melhor para seus descendentes. Completo em três volumes com mais de 350 páginas em cada um.
