About the Author
Ozaki Hōsai was a Japanese poet whose minimalist haiku captured the quiet solitude and spiritual simplicity of modern life. Living as a marginal figure in early twentieth-century Japan, he turned away from conventional society to embrace a life of poverty and introspection. His verses, often composed during his years as a wandering monk, distill profound emotion into just a few syllables, revealing the beauty of ordinary moments and the impermanence of existence. Hōsai’s work continues to resonate with readers seeking clarity and depth in an increasingly complex world.
