A PLAIN KOTO Poem by Jūkichi Yagi

A PLAIN KOTO

Rating: 4.0


If you lay a plain koto
in this brightness
it will begin playing quietly,
unable to endure autumn's beauty.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Fabrizio Frosini 20 April 2019

''Jūkichi Yagi creates sensitive and complex music through simple and unpretentious expression, such as in one of his most famous poems about a koto, a zither-like musical instrument.'' [Poetry International]
