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.
