  1. Pratyush Singh Chauhan

    I loved it! So simple, yet so moving. A timeless classic. This small book made my day.

  2. Jacob George

    A decent introduction to haiku. Enjoyable, but not life-changing. Very short and sweet, though.

  3. Tanmay Mehra

    I found some poems resonated deeply, while others didn’t quite click. The book is short, so worth the time. Enjoyable read overall.

  4. Kalpish Choudhary

    These poems are so peaceful. Reading them feels like meditating. A truly wonderful experience.

  5. Samiksha

    Was expecting something more groundbreaking. It’s nice, but didn’t blow me away. The poems are decent though.

  6. Tanvi Tyagi

    Found it a bit repetitive, but some verses are truly breathtaking. I would recommend, but with tempered expectations.

  7. Ankit Rawat

    This collection is a gem! The translator did a great job capturing the essence of Basho’s work. Definitely worth buying.

  8. Aayush Tyagi

    A little bit boring and overrated in my opinion. Expected more after reading reviews.

  9. Shreya Sinha

    The imagery in these haiku is stunning! A great introduction to Japanese poetry. I’ll definitely be rereading this one.

  10. Jamuna Majhi

    Nice, but I think something was lost in translation. Still a good read, though.

  11. Himanshu Garg

    A very relaxing read that calms the soul, though i felt like something was missing.

  12. Anil

    Some of the poems were confusing to me. Perhaps it’s a cultural thing. I still found beauty in a couple of verses.

  13. Shiwam Singh Singroul

    Lovely and calming. Perfect for a quiet evening. Basho’s perspective is truly unique. Would read again!

  14. Yogita Waghey

    I appreciated the simplicity and beauty. A nice break from longer, more complex works. I am recommending to friends.

  15. Yashu Priya

    A beautiful collection! Basho’s observations are so insightful. The haiku about the frog is my favorite. Highly recommend this book.

  16. Ashish Kumar

    Basho’s haiku are lovely, but the translation felt a bit clunky at times. Still, a worthwhile read for poetry lovers. Enjoyed the descriptions of nature.

  17. Abhishek Kumar

    A bit too simplistic for my taste. While the poems are beautiful, I was hoping for something more profound. Good for beginners.

  18. Saksham Mathur

    Absolutely stunning! The poems are both simple and profound. Will make a wonderful gift for my mom.

  19. Shreyash Shekhar

    I enjoyed the concise nature of haiku. Gave me a new perspective on poetry. I’d recommend this.
