"This is the most thoughtful, comprehensive, and skillful anthology of Miyazawa's works ever made available in English."—J. Thomas Rimer, coeditor of Traditional Japanese Arts and Culture: An Illustrated Sourcebook"How wonderful to have Miyazawa's work that emerged at a time when Japanese literature was undergoing a sea change. Thanks to Sato's insightful direction, this volume of poetry includes the life and the literary contexts. This is a significant contribution to the Millennium project!"—Kimiko Hahn, author of The Narrow Road to the Interior
