Fujiwara Teika's Hundred-Poem Sequence of the Shoji Era
T UHE great Japanese classical poet and critic Fujiwara no Sadaie, or Teika,2 is best known to popular history for his little anthology of thirty-onesyllable poems called Hyakunin isshu,3 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets'.

An Introduction to Japanese Court Poetry
The poetry written by the Japanese imperial court between A.D. 550 and 1350 is one of the great literatures of the world.

Brower, the standard treatment of the subject is in English. The book's five central chapters are devoted to the major court poets and…

It is a literary assessment of some eight centuries of Japanese poetry. The book is so successful in what it attempts that it may well serve to extend the horizon of Western literary criticism aind to give stimulation to Japanese scholars and critics. Poetry is a thing …

Formative Elements in the Japanese Poetic Tradition
The poetry of every nation and age is a complex expression of the history, spirit, and individual genius of a people; and, as each successive generation evaluates a native or an alien poetic tradition from its own historical and cultural vantage-point, it discovers meanings and values as well as limitations and weaknesses in the poetry it reads. Each generation must reassess for itself the glory that was Greece or the grandeur of Japan-so that th…
