We tend to think that literary arts such as waka can only be appreciated in Japanese. I also believe that the unique Japanese rhetoric such as makura kotobi and hanging words, and above all the aesthetic sense favored by Japanese people such as ``aware'' cannot be expressed in a foreign language. .
A review was published in the October issue of the monthly tanka magazine "Tanka Orai". The title is, ``Waka in the Reiwa Era - Admiration for Kokinshu and the inheritance of Waka culture.'' I am writing about Reiwa Kadokoro's current activities and future goals. Short...
*Sold out and sold out. The text used in Reiwa Kadokoro's workshops, also known as ``Hiden☆Kokindenju,'' is now available on Amazon. Please take this opportunity to purchase. *Priority is given to use in workshops...
*Sold out as it is sold out. A book has been published by Reiwa Kadokoro. It's called "The Biographies of Hyakunin Isshu Poets"! Hyakunin Isshu is not about singing, but about ``enjoying the poet.'' Please learn about the interesting stories and representative songs of 20 carefully selected poets. this...

This time, I would like to introduce a recommended translation of "The Tale of Genji." You can only get so much out of comics and simple books that you can read in XX days. Many people have published translations, so it's a good idea to quickly compare them and find one that suits your tastes in terms of writing style...
Many collections of Saigyo's poems have been published, but novels in which Saigyo is the main character are probably rare. Saigyo is a representative poet of the late Heian period who has been selected for the most entries in the Shinkokin Wakashu. ``Hopefully, spring will die under the flowers, around the time of the clearing mochimozuki.'' Saigyo...
Hyakunin Isshu was not just a karuta! ``When I grieve, I think of the moon and things, and the Kakochi face becomes my tears.''
