The concept of a universal human nature suggests that American
scholars and American readers of Japanese literature may interpret
the elements in Japanese tanka based on emotions - and on meanings
attached to natural images - that are common to all of humanity. It
is hoped that readers will experience this ancient style of
Japanese poetry in such a way that they are inspired to write their
own tanka poems. Such is one of the purposes of A Shawl of Mist.
Another purpose of this book is to share essays written to
accompany and complement the tanka poems. The short essays included
here provide practical thoughts based on the author's long years of
personal and professional experiences - studying, reading,
teaching, thinking, and especially, cherishing each day of living -
in Japan, the United States, and Guam.
