Japanese waka is the crystallization of Japan's brilliant classical culture. Tanka is a type of Waka, and later it gradually evolved into a synonym for Waka. Among Waka, tanka is the most numerous and most popular. Tanka embodies a moment of life realization and feeling. It is short but not thin, bold but not hasty, and is the soul of Japanese literature. This book selects more than 400 famous tanka works of different styles from the 1,300-year development history of waka and carefully translates them. It is presented in Chinese and Japanese and is accompanied by an introduction of the author and incisive annotations to help readers understand the Japanese tanka art and the rich emotional world, scenery and people behind it.
