Description

Dating from the eighth century and earlier, the Manyoshu is the oldest Japanese poetry anthology. The 1,000 poems chosen for this famous selection were chosen by a distinguished scholarly committee based on their poetic excellence, their role in revealing the Japanese national spirit and character, and their cultural and historical significance. Text is in English and Romanji, with a foreword by Donald Keene.
