Sasaki Nobutsuna

Nobutsuna Sasaki (Japanese佐佐木 信 纲; born July 8, 1872 in Suzuka, † December 2, 1963 ) was a Japanese writer.

Life

Sasaki was introduced as a child by his father, the writer Sasaki Hirotsuna in the basics of tanka poetry. After completing his studies at the Imperial University of Tokyo, he devoted himself to the research and writing of waka poetry.

End of the 19th century, he founded the literary group Chikuhaku Kai (竹柏 会, after the poet his father's name Chikuhaku ) that the magazine Kokoro no Hana (心 の 花) published in 1898. Here he published his ideas on waka poetry and gave young poets like Kawada Jun, Kinoshita uncircumcised and Hiroko Katayama impetus and a platform for the publication of their work.

Together with Masaoka Shiki and Yosano Tekkan he worked on a renewal of the genre of the Tanka and published in 1903 his first tanka collection Omoigusa (思 草). With his father, he developed a comprehensive collection of medieval Wakas and wrote a study of the oldest Japanese poetry collection Man'yōshū, for which he was in 1930 awarded the Asahi Prize. He has published more Wakasammlungen as Shingetsu (新月) Tokiwagi (常 盘 木) and Yama to Mizu to (山 と 水 と).
