Perhaps the most famous, and certainly the most translated haiku, is Basho's poem Old pond / Frog jumps in / The sound of water. In this book, Sato has collected some 135 translations, versions, parodies, and re-creations of pond-frog-sound, from Lafcadio Hearn, Daisetz Suzuki, Donald Keene, Kenneth Rexroth, Edward Seidensticker, Robert Aitken and Allen Ginsberg.
