Description
One of the most important of Japanese poets of the period from 1930–1960, Nishiwaki revolutionized the poetry of Japan, introducing surrealist-like passages and the juxtaposition of images. His greatest work, The Modern Fable (1953) translated here by Hiroaki Sato, returned to more common Japanese techniques, while creating a kind of discourse between East and West, the ancient and modern, and concretism and abstraction.
