Hosai Ozaki (1885-1926) was a free-verse haiku poet like Santoka, but in contrast to that peripatetic priest, he lived in a small temple on Shodoshima. This selection of his haiku translated by Hiroaki Sato has only one defect which costs a point: the Japanese texts in romaji have not been included.
Observant and simple haiku.
Some very beautiful poems from a very sad and lonely man.

Haiku. One line (not three). After reading it I walk around differently (for awhile).
