Yosa Buson or Yosa no Buson (与謝 蕪村) was a Japanese poet and painter of the Edo period. He lived from 1716 – January 17, 1784.[1] Along with Matsuo Bashō and Kobayashi Issa, Buson is considered among the greatest poets of the Edo Period. He is also known for completing haiga as a style of art,[2] working with haibun prose, and experimenting with a mixed Chinese-Japanese style of poetry.[3]
