Influence and Characteristics of the Poets Sakutaro Hagiwara was influenced by Rilke's poetry in various ways, such as the expression of lyrical poetry, the theme of loneliness, and his attitude toward poetry, which led his poetry to become more deeply introspective. "Howling at the Moon" broke the conventional concept of poetry in both content and form, pioneering a new realm of colloquial symbolic poetry and lyrical poetry, and establishing a firm position in the poetry world. His poetic style influenced Tatsuji Miyoshi, who was his direct disciple, and Kenji Miyazawa, a teacher in Iwate. "Tatsuji Miyoshi's Collection of Poems" was excluded from the listing because the binding thread was coming out in one place. If you wish, it can be included free of charge. Takuboku: "A Handful of Sand" is a representative collection of poems, using a three-line writing style and depicting everyday life. "Sad Toys": Reflected the sense of stagnation of the times, the contradictions of society, and the hardships of the lives of the common people in his poems, sharply criticizing the social situation. Bokusui: Traveled throughout his life, and there are monuments to his poems throughout Japan. He loved nature, and in Numazu, where he died, he loved the Senbonmatsubara and Mount Fuji, leaving many poems about Fuji and promoting naturalistic literature as tanka. Takamura: His experience as a sculptor also influenced his poetry, and his poems expressed the strength, three-dimensionality, and inner vitality of sculpture. Miyazawa: Expressed his love of nature and his way of life of being close to people. The fairy tale "Night on the Galactic Railroad" had a great influence on Osamu Tezuka and Hayao Miyazaki. #Tanka #OsamuTezuka #SpecialEdition #OutofPrint #TatsujiMiyoshi #HayaoMiyazaki #PoetryMonument #LyricalPoetry #ColloquialSymbolicPoetry #NightOnTheGalacticRailroad
