The Wind from Vulture Peak cover

The Wind from Vulture Peak addresses the history of the gradual incorporation of Buddhist concepts into Heian waka poetry and the development among court poets of a belief in the production of that poetry as a Buddhist practice in itself.

The breadth and depth of this work and the brilliance of the translations constitute a significant contribution to the field of Japanese literature.
