One Hundred Frogs: From Matsuo Basho to Allen Ginsberg - Softcover
Perhaps the most famous, and certainly the most translated haiku, is Basho's poem "Old pond / Frog jumps in / The sound of water". In this book, Sato has collected some 135 translations, versions, parodies, and re-creations of "pond-frog-sound", from Lafcadio Hearn, Daisetz Suzuki, Donald Keene, Kenneth Rexroth, Edward Seidensticker, Robert Aitken and Allen Ginsberg. The formats range from the five-seven-five syllables of the original haiku to sonnets, limericks, prose poems, and e.e. cummings-style flights of typographical fancy. Sato's brief introduction provides background, and ink-painting frogs hop across the pages.
