Hyakunin’shu: Reading the Hundred Poets in Late Edo Japan
by Joshua S. Mostow
Mostow’s achievement has been to produce a series of translations that recreate the difficulties, the ambiguities, the multiplicities of meaning present in the originals. —Bryan Karetnyk, TLS - The Times Literary Supplement
