Soft coverMujyōkan ... Nothing exists whose form remains. Everything is changeable, ephemeral, finite. That is precisely its beauty. That's what this book tries to catch, which brings together 72 haikus and a final jisei, a brief farewell poem written before the certainty of death. Instants of beauty caught in the flight by a personal, quick glance, unique to the nature that surrounds us, to common and fleeting moments full of magic: the uniqueness of a falling snowflake, the flapping of a duck in its hazardous migration, the buzzing of a bee on a flower, the roar of thunder, the flash of a firefly, the flight of a seed, the tedious patter of rain on a roof. Moments Beauty in the simple. Finitude Pure Mujyōkan.
