"The Collection of Old and New Songs of Japan" ("Kokinwakashu") belongs to the universally recognized masterpieces of Japanese classics. It is impossible to talk about the history of Japanese poetry without mentioning this book. In the words of Ki-no Tsurayuki, the compiler of the anthology, "the songs of Japan ... sprout from the seeds of people's hearts, turning into countless leaves of words." The exquisite, graceful poetics contained in the lines of "Kokinwakashu" describes the world around us in the changing seasons, love's longing, a brief moment of happiness before separation.... The themes of "Kokinwakashu" also excite the modern reader who is receptive to the beauty of the poetic word. This edition presents a complete translation of the "Collection of Songs" by the famous orientalist Alexander Arkadyevich Dolin, as well as his introductory article and detailed comments.
