	Tale of Murasaki - Murasaki in Japanese Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Yosano Akiko was one of the few women to play an important part in the burst of literary creativity that occurred in Japan between 1905 and 1920.
		Yosano Akiko, however, was first a poet, and her favored mode of expression was the venerable form practiced by the literati of Genji's era-the waka.
		Thus, ironically, the passionately modern, free-thinking, slightly outrageous Yosano Akiko was the one to resurrect the time-honored, over-refined, ultra-confined corpus of Heian literature by giving it a voice that would speak to Japanese women of her generation.

		Akiko's joy in herself and her whole sense of being as a woman allow her to view the throng of people on a spring night with affection.

		Akiko, Japan's greatest female poet of all time, was obliged to play second fiddle when in the presence of the man who was seen as her conductor.

		Mokichi Saito, Akiko's contemporary poet, describes her narrative style as follows: It is like an precocious girl is impertinently talking about mature things.
		While Raicho's discourse was well supported by nationalists, Akiko confronted harsh criticism because of her poem, "Kimi shinitamo koto nakare." It disclaims all the nationalist craze of the war and expresses the self-conscious egocentrism in saying she is happy only if her husband returns alive from the war.
		Akiko was also against Raicho's idea of the governmental support system for mothers.

		Akiko's writing, which focused on personalized responses to the world around her, separated her work from the traditional, conventional images of nature that waka had become, Rodd said.
		Akiko questioned the reasons for the war and the conscription of troops, which led to her denouncement in the Japanese press as a traitor.
		Akiko opened a school for middle and high school age girls at a time when there were few options for girls or women to get an education beyond sixth grade, Rodd explained.

	Book Review of Spring 2003
		On May 29, 1942, Yosano Akiko, renowned (and not infrequently denigrated) since the beginning of the century as la poètesse suprême of Japanese romanticism, died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of sixty-three.
		With Japan on the eve of the Battle of Midway, her passing seems to have attracted little notice among her compatriots, and even after the war, with her pacifism and feminism now "safe" and, indeed, fashionable, her detractors were still to be found.
		Embracing the Firebird is both a biography of Akiko's early years and an analysis of her poetry, primarily her first collection, Midaregami (Tangled Hair), whose appearance on August 15, 1901, made the twenty-three-year-old an instant celebrity.

		Her point is not to say that Akiko's poems are simply autobiographical, but rather that reading them against the poet's own background adds another layer to the complexity of her poems.
		The "female voice" in the title appears to have a double connotation, as it implies both the blossoming of Akiko into a poet and her attainment of a poetic voice, as well as the manipulation of gender and voice in her poetry itself.
		Akiko often shifted from deploying male voices to the more ambiguous omniscient, finally experimenting with multiple female voices within her poetry.

		It follows Akiko, who was born into a merchant family in the port city of Sakai near Osaka, from earliest childhood to her twenties, charting the slow process of development before the seemingly sudden metamorphosis.
		Akiko's later poetry has now begun to win long-overdue recognition, but in terms of literary history the impact of Midaregami (Tangled Hair, 1901), her first book, still overshadows everything else she wrote, for it brought individualism to traditional tanka poetry with a tempestuous force and passion found in no other work of the period.
		Embracing the Firebird traces Akiko's emotional and artistic development up to the publication of this seminal work, which became a classic of modern Japanese poetry and marked the starting point of Akiko's forty-year-long career as a writer.

		The reason why there was no golden age of childhood in Akiko’s poetry was largely that there had been none in her life.

		Being a scholar, and long-time expert on the works of Yosano, and because she also collects valuable editions of her work, Beichman brings to both story and poems a breadth of experience and understanding of the work possessed by no one else.
		Yosano’s poems are, almost without exception, full of sexual innuendoes, references, metaphors, double meanings and direct statements of her pain and mostly her pleasure in her body and its sexual aspects.

	The body politic in modern Japanese women's literature: Bodies of women and of the Japanese national empire in Yosano ...
		This dissertation investigates the female body as part of the body of the modern Japanese national empire as depicted in the literature of three prolific female writers, Yosano Akiko (1878-1942), Hayashi Fumiko (1904-1951), and Tamura Toshiko (1884-1945).
		Although their literary characters aspire to attain women's independence from the nation state, their personal aspirations are still bound by the political ambition of the nation-state to expand Japan as an empire.
		Yosano, Hayashi and Tamura's characters attempt to erase their inadequacies, be they emotional, material, and/or physical, and to attain senses of freedom, security, and strength by incorporating the nation-state's imperialist discourse of liberation, salvation, and power into their stories.
