| | Traditional Japanese Poetry: An Anthology - Translated, with an Introduction, by Steven D. Carter |
 | | In choosing poems, the compiler has given priority to authors and works gnerally acknowledged as of great artistic and/or historical importance by Japanese scholars. |
 | | For this reason, major poets such as Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, Izumi Shikibu, Saigyo, and Matsuo Basho are particualarly important collections such as Man’yoshu, Kokinshu, and Shin kokinshu. |
 | | In addtion, the volume also contains samplings from genres such as the poetic diary, linked verse, Chinese forms, and comic verse. |
