This remarkable anthology features 101 modern Japanese poems by 55 poets, including Shuntar Tanikawa, Minoru Yoshioka, Taeko Tomioka, Nobuo Ayukawa, Tar Kitamura, Ryichi Tamura, Hiroshi Yoshino, Noriko Ibaragi, Gz Yoshimasu and Yji Arakawa, carefully selected by the renowned poet and literary critic Makoto oka to ensure that the chosen poems express each poet's special character.

Suitable for both the student/scholar of modern Japanese literature and the general reader with a passion for poetry, the 101 poems in this authoritative collection will delight and inspire.
