| Publisher Description: Seminal translations from the large body of Miyazawa Kenji's poetry. Considered to be one of the greatest modern Japanese poets, Miyazawa is also, "the poet of the Tsunami recovery." The editor selected brief lines from Miyazawa's best known works and they are juxtaposed with lovely photographs by Japanese photojournalist, Kenji Okuhira. Readers can see not only Miyazawa's homeland, but also images of the Tsunami disaster of 2011. There is a beautiful visual exposition of Zen in this book that matches the poetry of the master, Miyazawa. The book is in English and Japanese. |
