	2001 Waka - Hitomaro
		Little is known about Hitomaro's life or personal circumstances - we are not even certain when he was born or died - and the only clues we have are his poems.
		Hitomaro is never merely an observer of a scene, but a participant in it and through his participation draws in the reader to the events described in his poems.
		In terms of technique, he is a master of the makura kotoba ('pillow word'), using them to bring a sense of majesty to elements described in his poems, while his complex use of parallelism integrates his long poems into unified wholes.

	Kakinomoto no Hitomaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hitomaro's famed poems included "In the sea of ivy clothed Iwami"[1], "The Bay of Tsunu"[2], and "I loved her like the leaves".
		In 708 Zokunihongi reports Kakinomoto no Saru, another Kakinomoto clan man died and the Japanese thinker Umehara Takeshi supposed Saru (柿本佐留) and Hitomaro were identical (Saru is same to 猿, monkey at sound and it is supposed as an official blame to him).
		The Kakinomoto clan from which he derived was a middle class noble clan and he was referred with Ason, the third highest title among eight.

	Manyoshu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The 235th & 236th poem : None of Imperial Family
		I suppose that Hitomaro was watching people of penetrating in Chikushi which take an awful lot an unknown quantity by working like a dog in the helter-skelter days of the immediate post war in the general pandemonium.
		Hitomaro's first recorded step as a poet is a step backward, a rhetorical evocation of the mythic world, in whose eternal time the descent of the first Emperor from the "fields of heaven" is identical to the enthronement of the latest sovereign at the palace in Asuka.
		Hitomaro's task as a Court poet wa one of crafting iconic images which "prove" the divinity of the imperial family.

		While the Man’yôshû depicts Hitomaro’s death as taking place in an isolated spot in the wilderness of Iwami, later texts describe visits by poets to recognised Hitomaro gravesites in Harima, Yamato, and elsewhere.
		Viewed within the larger context of Hitomaro’s reception, particularly his canonization as a deity of Japanese poetry, these literary constructions of his death and gravesite can be understood both as products of their own particular times and places and as stages in Hitomaro’s evolution from poet to poetic divinity.
		This paper will examine changing literary representations of Hitomaro’s death and grave from the Man’yôshû to the mid-Edo period, against the background of Hitomaro’s deification and increasing importance to poets as an ancestral figure and guardian of the Way of Japanese Poetry.

		Kakinomoto no Asomi Hitomaro (about 660-708) served under the Mikado Temmu, Queen-Regnant Jito and the Mikado Mommu.
		Of the offices he held, nothing is clearly known, although it appears that he functioned as a court poet, praising the reigning sovereigns and writing odes for them.
		Hitomaro is a lyric poet with a deep feeling for the beauty of mountains—with their streams and flowers—and for the beauty of the seascape and sea shores.

	TANKA SPLENDOR 1996
		My introduction to tanka came at an unlikely place -- New York University film school, where my teacher used tanka by Kakinomoto Hitomaro to demonstrate how a resonant sense of time, place/season (nature) and emotion could be conveyed with a minimum of words.
		He compared Hitomaro's tanka to a shot or frame in a film, and through this I learned that a central image encapsulated in a lyrical frame could convey worlds at once distant and universal by suggestion a much as by inclusion.
		Although I did not know the name of the form then (and doubted my teacher did either), I did know that a man writing centuries ago in a verse born on a continent I had never visited spoke to me at seventeen as few poems -- ancient or contemporary -- I had read ever had.
