"The poetry of Yamato has the human heart as its seed and blossoms into a myriad of leaves, words."
The Collection of Japanese Poems from Yesterday and Today is the first anthology of poems in Japanese compiled by imperial order, around 905. It left a lasting mark on national sensibilities through its intense attention to the unfolding of the seasons and love. Its influence on later literature is considerable.
The Collection brings together one thousand one hundred and eleven poems, by more than one hundred authors, including women, representing a century and a half of poetic creation. It is an original work, whose subject and structure are perfectly coordinated.
This complete translation, carefully annotated, is the first in French.
