Luz de otra vida
Kobayashi Issa, a Buddhist monk of the Amida School, led a life rich in emotions and experiences, balancing his monastic duties with marriage and fatherhood. This dual existence granted him a profound sensitivity, a deep connection to nature and animals, and an intuitive grasp of 'aware'—the childlike wonder central to haiku. This book delves into his unique perspective, offering insight into the life and work of a celebrated haiku master.
