Man'Yoshu : A New English Translation Containing the Origianl Text, Kana Transliteration, Romanization, Glossing and Commentary (Man'yoshu) <15> (1 New)

The largest Japanese poetic anthology, thus the most important compendium of Japanese culture of the Asuka and Nara periods, is very much more than a work of literature. The author presents the Man'yoshu preserving as far as possible the flavour, sounds and semantics of the original poems. The result is a more literate but true translation.
