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 100 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.
Translated with an introduction and commentary by Peter MacMillan.
