 Never Knows Best
Kino no Tabi is an interesting exercise in balance.
Kino obviously falls far short of the linguistic complexity of Genji, but I always find that the same principle applies: stuff that I kind of breezed past or glossed over on the first reading, I find that I can't just ignore when I go back to render the text into English.
I mentioned the issue of sexually ambiguous characters in anime earlier today, but with Kino, Shigusawa really exploits the possibilites of the Japanese language to betray no hint whatever whether his protagonist is a male or a female.

By Kino Tsurayuki (884-946), translated by William N. Porter in "A Hundred Verses from Old Japan"
Almost every Japanese garden has an ume (Japanese apricot tree; Prunus mume), usually translated into English as "plum." This is one of the Orient's most important flowering trees, admired by scholars, poets and painters since ancient times.
Traditionally the uguisu (bush warbler) is linked to these trees, but the above drawing shows a mejiro (white-eye), which is a little green bird that loves to drink nectar from the flowers.

 Japanese Theory and Criticism
The first major work to show that attempt is Ki no Tsurayuki's preface to the anthology Kokin Wakash
Fully aware that the poetry of his country was largely lyrical, Tsurayuki stressed the importance of spontaneity in composition and harmony between emotion and words, comparing the creative process to the growth of a tree, from the germination of the seed to the eventual blossoming and bearing of fruit.
Poets in the succeeding generations amplified the theory in various ways, but when Japan became torn with civil wars in the twelfth century, this type of lyrical expressionism began to give way to idealistic aestheticism, which encouraged poets to create unearthly beauty by means of language.

natural method was in the main followed; for the people offered the things by which they themselves set most store, as we bear at a late period of the poet Tsurayuki, when in a storm at sea, flinging his mirror into the waves because he had but one.
The Early Japanese made offerings [58] of two kinds of cloth, one being hempen cloth and the other cloth manufactured from the bark of the paper mulberry, offerings very precious in their eyes, but which have in modern times been allowed to degenerate into useless strips of paper.
