Paperback. Zustand: Like New. Poet and short story writer Sanki Saito was born Keichoku Saito on May 15 1990 in Tsuyamo, Japan. In 1928, in the midst of an economic downslide and a rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in Singapore, where he was living at the time, Saito immigrated back to Japan, where he returned to practicing dentistry at a hospital in Kanda, Tokyo. Saito began writing haiku, adopting the pen name 'Sanki,' meaning 'three demons.' He became known for his outspoken, frequently sardonic haiku. Saito became a contributor to Kyodai Haiku magazine and in the mid 1930s quit dentistry to focus more on his writing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sanki Saito (19001962), born Keichoku Saito in Tsuyama, Japan, was a pioneering short story writer and poet whose bold, modern haiku challenged the conventions of his time. As a key figure in the New Rising Haiku movement of the 1930s, Sanki redefined the boundaries of haiku by breaking with the strict traditionalists who insisted on "season words" and the direct observation of nature. In their place, Sanki and his peers opened haiku to imagined experience, infusing it with radical new perspectives that would forever transform the form.Writing under the pen name Sanki, meaning "Three Demons," his reputation as a literary maverick grew rapidly. His radical, inventive approach to haiku, however, also made him a target of Japan's militaristic government. In 1940, Sanki was imprisoned as part of the wartime crackdown on dissident artists and writers, and he was officially silencedbanned from writing or publishing his work.Three Demonsbrings together Sanki's most evocative haiku, meticulously curated and beautifully translated by Ryan Choi. Drawing from five of Sanki's collectionsFlags(1940),Night Peaches(1948),One Hundred Haiku(1948),Today(1952), andTransformations(1962)this anthology introduces readers to the revolutionary spirit and emotional depth of a poet who helped redefine one of Japan's most treasured literary traditions.…
