Poetry of ‘Takuan from Koto’

While the ‘Journey to the West’ is very poetic, ‘Takuan from Koto’ ventures into the poetic worlds only briefly.

Most of the verses are following the waka and tanka (see below) traditions whenever it is possible with the translation.

In the Makipedia, you’ll find three verses from the book with a detailed explanation of their meaning.
