		Ohotomo no Kuronushi, lastly, has a pretty turn for verse, but his form is poor; he is like a faggot-bearing boor resting under a blossom-filled cherry-tree.

		Ki no Tsurayuki's contribution to Japanese literature was such that without him Japanese literature would have followed a totally different historical path.
		And as for the women of this time, not only did they have to live with this sense of being shut out, but in addition to what men dealt with, their sense of tension and insecurity was increased by the polygynous marriage system and the denigrated view of women in Buddhism.

	Myojo Summary
		The earliest songs have no fixed prosody, that is, no set number of syllables and no regular alternation of long and short lines.
		In his preface, Tsurayuki wrote what is regarded as the first statement on poetics in Japanese literature: A good poem should achieve a balance between kotoba (words) and kokoro (heart), a critical standard representing an ideal of balance between content and form that was borrowed from the Chinese Shijing (Classic of Poetry, eighth–sixth centuries BCE).
		Tsurayuki and the other compilers of the Kokinshu lauded a style of poetry characterized by elegance and refined diction—a style that remained popular into the late twelfth century.

	THE CHERRY BLOSSOM IN HEIAN WAKA POETRY
		A careful study of the Kokinshu suggests that Ki no Tsurayuki, one of its chief compilers and a great poet in his own right, set out a very loose system of basic indications to serve as a guide for those who wished to treat the cherry blossom theme in poetic form.
		This gives us no assurance that the order in which the wakas have come down to us is the original one, nor can we be entirely sure that Tsurayuki’s famous introduction to that anthology did not suffer changes or interpolations in later times.
		Tsurayuki and the poets of the Kokin Anthology took the cherry blossom waka to its highest point.

		Paying no real note to it, he turned, and walked to the far end of the hall, where his room was last on the wall, sharing a wall with the silent Trowa Barton's room at the end of the hall, and the bubbly Quatre Warner on the other side.
		He paid no attention to the sharp stones under his habitually bare feet, nor to the buzz and whine of the small insects that were rising for the evening feedings, nor to the slowly rising moon on the still blue eastern horizon.
		Yet no matter his determination, his movements were still slow and jerky and even his face betrayed the winces of pain caused by the soreness of a new sprain.

	Abstract Page
		The early-modern scholar and poet Kamo no Mabuchi conducted research into the Japanese classics, notably the Man'yoshu, composed poetry in the Man'yo-cho metre, and lectured in classical philology and poetics at his successful academy, the Kemmon, in Edo.
		Eventually, translation became no just an activity but a topic of discourse, a discourse simultaneously situating the Japanese bundan and its activities within the global literary scene and challenging the authority of the “originality” of Western works.
		These narratives, which were made possible by the influence of cinematic culture, cheaper methods of magazine photograph printing, and the enormous profit potential in advertising in women's magazines, took illustration of serialized novels and the increased visuality of print culture to their logical extremes.

		As for the story itself, it is a fairly interesting early attempt at prose narrative, though it is pretty uneventful and kind of drags in spots (one almost wishes the much-feared pirates had actually caught up with Tsurayuki's boat).
		The thing I found most significant about the tale, though, was the manner in which Ki no Tsurayuki here fleshes out in narrative form the principle he elucidates in the first paragraph of his preface to the "Kokinshu" waka anthology, i.e.
		Certainly, such moments were Tsurayuki's primary focus and interest, not "Pirates of the Inland Sea" per se.
