Japanese Death Poetry
4.8 Overall Rating
In many cultures, the awareness of death is an integral part of life, but this notion is particularly profound in Japan. The approach towards death in Japan has given rise to a longstanding tradition known as "jisei," or the "death poem," which is often composed during the final moments of a poet's life.
This poetry collection presents hundreds of Japanese death poems, many being translated into English for the first time. Compiler Yoel Hoffmann delves into the historical and contemporary attitudes and customs surrounding death in Japan, shedding light on how these notions have influenced the nation's literature.
The book also provides insight into Zen Buddhist perspectives on death, serving as a preface to a compilation of Chinese death poems by Zen monks, which are also included. Finally, the last section of the book encompasses a collection of 320 haiku.
