Saigyo
"Poems of a Mountain Home" contains translations of two hundred of Saigyo's poems. His poems are almost all written in the thirty-one syllable "tanka" form, the form most favored in Japanese court poetry. The translations follow the traditional topical arrangements used in Japanese editions of Saigyo's work, allowing the reader to appreciate the poet's celebration of each season of the year.
