Good intro collection, though Marichiko IS Rexroth. That distinction is never made.

This was a beautiful little volume of love poetry. It was a quick read, too. I haven't read much Japanese poetry, and I definitely feel I have been missing out. Was a good introduction and I will be looking for more.
