Riassunto

La poesia rimane una parte viva della cultura del Giappone odierno. I cliché del linguaggio quotidiano sono spesso riconducibili a celebri poesie antiche e le forme tradizionali di poesia sono ampiamente note e amate. L'atteggiamento congeniale deriva da una storia poetica di circa un millennio e mezzo. Questa classica raccolta di versi contiene quindi poesie dal periodo più antico e primitivo, attraverso i periodi Nara, Heian, Kamakura, Muromachi ed Edo, per finire con la poesia moderna dal 1868 in poi, inclusi i poeti emergenti Tamura Ryuichi e Tanikawa Shuntaro.
