Book Description
A new edition of the most widely known and popular collection of Japanese poetry. The best loved and most widely read of all Japanese poetry collections, the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu contains 1 short poems on nature, the seasons, travel, and, above all, love. Dating back to the seventh century, these elegant, precisely observed waka poems (the precursor of haiku) express deep emotion through visual images based on a penetrating observation of the natural world. Peter MacMillan's new translation of his prize winning original conveys even more effectively the beauty and subtlety of this magical collection.
