Recenzje

He offers a translation alongside the original kanbun text as well as his verse-by-verse interpretative comments of the Kuch=ugen (rendered by Heine as "Wisdom within Words"), a poetry collection comprising 149 of (altogether around 450 of) D=ogen's kanshi (Chinese-style poems)...Heine notes the significance of the Kuch=ugen, which has served "as a study guide routinely memorized and recited or copied as part of contemplative training".
