Book excerpt: Discover this classic translation of one of Japan's most famous poetry anthologies. This gem of Japanese poetry has preserved its charm for over a century. Dating from the 13th century, this collection of Hyaku-nin-isshiu (literally "one hundred poems by one hundred poets") contains one hundred evocative and intensely human poems. The selections are written as Japanese tanka (featuring a five-line thirty-one syllable format in a 5-7-5-7-7 pattern) and were composed between the seventh and 13th centuries before being compiled by Sadaiye Fujiwara in 1235. These short poems consist almost entirely of love poems and picture poems intended to bring some well-known scene to mind: nature, the cycle of the seasons, the impermanence of life, and the vicissitudes of love. There are obvious Buddhist and Shinto influences throughout. To make the sounds more familiar to English readers, the translator has adopted a five-line verse of 8-6-8-6-6 meter, with the second, fourth, and fifth lines rhyming. His accompanying notes put the poems into a cultural and historical context. Each poem is illustrated with an 18-century Japanese woodcut by an anonymous illustrator. Despite the centuries that have passed since these poems were written, modern readers are certain to connect with their themes and their beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hundred Verses From Old Japan: Being a Translation of the Hyaku-Nin-Isshiu The Hyaku-nin-isshiu, or 'Single Verses by a Hundred People, ' were collected together in A.D. 1235 by Sadaiye Fujiwara, who included as his own contribution verse No. 97. They are placed in approximately chronological order, and range from about the year 670 to the year of compilation. The Japanese devote themselves to poetry very much more than we do; and there is hardly a home in Japan, however humble, where these verses, or at least some of them, are not known. They are, and have been for many years, used also in connexion with a game of cards, in which the skill consists in fitting parts of the different verses together. Japanese poetry differs very largely from anything we are used to; it has no rhyme or alliteration, and little, if any, rhythm, as we understand it. The verses in this Collection are all what are called Tanka, which was for many years the only form of verse known to the Japanese.
