Drawn from classical, medieval and modern sources - including the imperial collections of the Manyoshu and Kokinshu - the poems in this collection are some of the greatest love poems from the Japanese tradition. The poems range in tone from the spiritual longing of an isolated monk to the erotic ecstasy of a court princess - but all share the simplicity and luminosity of language that marks Kenneth Rexroth's verse style.
