"…one of the most respected and oft-quoted compilations of the Japanese poetic canon. Translated with both grace and precision, the poems are elegant expressions of the depth of human emotions blended with evocations of the natural world in which they lived. A must-read for anyone interested in Japanese culture or poetry in general." —William Scott Wilson, renowned translator of Japanese literature
