Book Description
In ancient times, Japanese samurai were arguably the greatest warriors in modern history. In fact, samurai warriors lived their entire lives rigorously abiding by the Bushido--the Japanese code of chivalry and honor. The Emperor or Shogun wielded centralized powers all over the war-torn country. Directly under the Shogun were the Daimyo, regional and local warlords. Subordinate to the Daimyo were the samurai, a class of highly skilled warriors, which gradually developed in Japan after the Taika reforms of A.D. 641. Feudal Japan rigorously followed Bushido. The samurai code emphasized loyalty to one's master over and above loyalty to one's family. Hence the Shogun oftentimes replaced a weak emperor who merely acted as an imperial figurehead. The Shogun, the likes of Minamoto no Yoritomo, Ashigaka Takauji and Hideyoshi, carried with them the power of life and death over their daimyo and samurai underlings. During peace time many samurai warriors took up the arts by writing and teaching in their leisure hours. Their love of beautiful surroundings was of equal importance to these men who dedicated their lives as full-time soldiers. In the Haiku poems written by the old masters, many of whom lived and died as staunch practitioners of the samurai code. One of the greatest Haiku poets was the renowned samurai, Matsuo Basho (1644-94), who traveled throughout Japan writing and further developing the Haiku style. He died in Osaka, Japan in 1694, but continued to write haiku furiously, up until his death. TODAY, five men and women who dub themselves as Bards from the Far East invite you to promenade in the literary park and bask in the overflowing openness, depth, simplicity and lightness of Haiku poems. Their poems will empower your soul to resonate and appreciate the sad, the beautiful, the tragic and even the lighter side of life...

Book Description
Apparitions of Asia traces a literary intimacy between the U.S. and East Asia that spans the twentieth century. Commercial and political bridges generated transpacific literary alliances, and Park analyzes American bards who capitalized on these ties and interrogates the price of such intimacies in the work of Asian American poets.
