Shotetsu monogatari was written by a disciple of Shotetsu
(1381–1459), whom many scholars regard as the last great poet of
the courtly tradition. The work provides information about the
practice of poetry during the 14th and 15th centuries, including
anecdotes about famous poets, advice on how to treat certain
standard topics, and lessons in etiquette when attending or
participating in poetry contests and gatherings. But unlike the
many other works of that time that stop at that level, Shotetsu's
contributions to medieval aesthetics gained prominence, showing him
as a worthy heir—both as poet and thinker—to the legacy of the
great poet-critic Fujiwara no Teika (1162–1241).The last project
of the late Robert H. Brower, Conversations with Shôtetsu provides
a translation of the complete Nihon koten bungaku taikei text, as
edited by Hisamatsu Sen'ichi. Steven D. Carter has annotated the
translation and provided an introduction that details Shôtetsu's
life, his place in the poetic circles of his day, and the
relationship of his work to the larger poetic tradition of medieval
Japan. Conversations with Shotetsu is important reading for anyone
interested in medieval Japanese literature and culture, in poetry,
and in aesthetics. It provides a unique look at the literary world
of late medieval Japan.
