Akiko Yosano's Tangled Hair, published in 1901, had a sensational impact on Japanese literature, and we are pleased to make this highly praised translation (originally published 30 years ago) available once again in a revised Cheng &amp; Tsui edition. Akiko reshaped the tanka, the most popular form of Japanese poetry for 1,200 years, into a modern poetic form. In this new work, her tanka appear in their original Japanese, in roman transliterations, and English translations along with a new preface and notes. Suitable for literature programs and translation courses.

Tangled Hair: Selected Tanka from Midaregami

Purdue University Studies

Poetry. Translated from the Japanese by Dennis Maloney and Hide Oshiro. Midaregami (TANGLED HAIR, from which these poems were taken) was an immediate success when it was published in 1901. Akiko infused the poems with an erotic and imaginative passion at a time when traditional tanka poetry had grown lifeless and conventional. This sequence of poems reveals the tempestuous, ecstatic, and sometimes agonizing love between Akiko and Yosano Tekkan, whom she later married.
