Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

by: Santoka Taneda

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of *sabi* (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
