A collection of representative works by the talented Japanese poet Ishikawa Takuboku, a classic translation by Zhou Zuoren, and a super complete collection of Chinese and Japanese bilingual editions! This book contains 551 songs from "A Grip of Sand" and 194 songs from "The Sad Toy". Ishikawa Takuboku's poems have unique descriptions of daily life, changes in the seasons, relatives, friends, and children, and record the gains and losses in life with delicate and sensitive thoughts, which are sincere and touching. As a writer who died of illness at a young age but left behind a large number of poems, comments and profound literary theories, his content has irreplaceable value in terms of his creative level and his understanding of life beyond the times. Zhou Zuoren's translation is simple and elegant, making the poet's lonely, sensitive and burning heart vividly appear on the page. If you are unhappy, then read Ishikawa Takuboku's poems!
