Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of some of the earliest Japanese poetry, written in the seventh and eighth centuries, a time of considerable societal change as the country emerged from centuries of regionalism and developed a self-aware national consciousness. The author demonstrates an impressive grasp of Old Japanese grammar and language as shown in the extensive explanatory introduction and plentiful appendices. The poems themselves are arranged by topic and translated with admirable faithfulness and an ear for their musicality. The poetic methods and vocabulary are often a little strange to modern readers, but there is a raw, passionate humanity in these verses that has the power to move modern hearts as it did ancient ones. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333902339_0
