Of all the translated books of Ryokan, this was the most true and heartfully interpreted collections of poems I have come across. As a bilingual second generation Japanese, I know the difficulty of translating the essence of a culture into another, and still relay the message as it was intended. That is the art form of the translator, and very rarely do I feel the same sensation from reading the same material in a different language. Truly wonderful!
