Rengetsu, John Stevens (Translator, Author), Bonnie Myotai Treace
At the age of thirty-three, Otagaki Nobu (1791-1875) renounced a world that had visited great tragedy upon her--the deaths of two husbands and three infant children--and was ordained a Buddhist nun, taking the name Rengetsu, which means Lotus Moon. Lotus Moon is a selection of her finest poetry presented in John Stevens' elegant translations and includes illustrations of her artwork and pottery
