Yasukichi Irie’s poetry world Manyo Yamato Road Yoshiyoshi Irie

Introduction (from the publisher)
Yasukichi Irie, who died in 1992, is extremely popular as a Nara photographer.
What he worked on to shoot Nara over his lifetime
It is nothing but the feeling of Manyo in the scenery.

In this book, a photo taken by Yasukichi Irie and 126 Manyo songs are posted.
You can enjoy the world of Manyoshu along with the beautiful Nara scenery that invites nostalgia.
It is a Manyo song that is difficult to understand with letters alone,
Combined with photos, you can feel closer.
Modern language translations are also posted on each song.
It is also recommended for foreigners because there is an English translation.
There is no rule in the order of reading.
You can open your favorite photos, your favorite song, and any page.
It is a book that I want those who think that Manyo seems to be difficult.

The heart that feels beautiful nature, the feeling of feeling like someone
Sadness that lost an important person, etc.
Among the hearts of people wrote in the Manyoshu, it is a universal emotion that is common to modern people.
While imagining the scene of the ancient city
Would you like to look for a phrase that fits our hearts that live in the present age?
