Izumi Shikibu "Collection of Poems. Diary" - the book includes a collection of poems and a poetic diary of one of the best poetesses of the Heian period (10th - 11th centuries) Izumi Shikibu.
This amazing woman, who lived about a thousand years ago, stands at the very origins of Japanese fine literature along with her great contemporary Murasaki Shikibu, the author of "The Tale of Genji".
Izumi Shikibu's poetic gift was highly appreciated by both her contemporaries and especially her descendants. Her poems are included in all leading poetry anthologies, starting from the end of the 10th century. Her love lyrics were especially popular. Using all the poetic techniques of that time, she knew how, like no one else, to fill her poems with living, sincere feelings.
In addition to the excellent translation, the book provides the originals of all the poems in Japanese and their Russian transcription, so the reader will be able to hear the sound of ancient classic tanka from their own lips, those who read Japanese will be able to appreciate the merits of the translation, and readers who have just begun to study the language will receive an ideal teaching aid.
