Poems of a Mountain Homeby Saigyo
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Poems of a Mountain Home contains translations of two hundred of Saigyos poems. The translations follow the traditional topical arrangement used in Japanese editions of Saigyos work, allowing the reader to appreciate the poet's celebration of each season of the year. Book News Annotation:achievement. Saigyo (1118-1190) is one of the best known and most
influential of the traditional Japanese poets. The nonpareil Burton
Watson has here translated 200 of Saigyo's poems, almost all written
in the 31-syllable tanks form. The initial sections on the four
seasons are followed by a group of poems on the subject of romantic
love, and religious and philosophical themes. The volume closes with
striking experimental poems from the poet's last years. Watson's
translations are accompanied by a romanized version of the Japanese
original and identification of its location in Japanese anthologies.
