Murmured Conversations

A Treatise on Poetry and Buddhism by the Poet-Monk Shinkei

Beschreibung

Murmured Conversations is the first complete and rigorously annotated translation of Sasamegoto (1463-1464), considered the most representative poetic treatise of the medieval period in Japan because of its thoroughgoing construction of poetry as a way to attain, and signify through language, the mental liberation (satori) that is the goal of Buddhist practice.
