Klappentext zu „One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each “
Compiled in the thirteenth century, the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu is one of Japan's most quoted and illustrated works, as influential to the development of Japanese literary traditions as The Tale of Genji and The Tales of Ise. The text is an anthology of one hundred waka poems, each written by a different poet from the seventh century to the middle of the thirteenth, which is when Fujiwara no Teika, a renowned poet and scholar, assembled and edited the collection. The book features poems by high-ranking court officials and members of the imperial family, and each is composed in the waka form of five lines with five syllables in the first and third lines and seven syllables in the second, fourth, and fifth (waka is a precursor of haiku). Despite their similarity in composition, these poems evoke a wide range of emotions and imagery, and touch on themes as varied as frost settling on a bridge of magpie wings to the continuity of the imperial line.

Rezension zu „One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each “
Peter McMillan's translation of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu has restored the importance and beauty of a collection of poetry too often dismissed as merely 'pretty.' This is by far the best translation to date. ¿ Donald Keene, Shincho Professor of Japanese Literature and University Professor Emeritus at Columbia University
