The Japanese Literature Home Page is a (largely) academic site devoted to various aspects of one of the world's great literatures. As a single-webmaster operation, the site has tended to expand in a leisurely and somewhat haphazard fashion. Nevertheless, there is material here that is not readily available elsewhere, so feel free to browse.
tare o ka mo
shiru hito ni semu
Takasago no
matsu mo mukashi no
tomo naranaku ni
Who is there to claim
as someone I truly know?
At Takasago
even the pines are not
my friends of long ago.
-- Fujiwara no Okikaze
