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.
