Sugawara No Michizane and the Early Heian Court
An interesting. read, but at least a cursory knowledge of the era would be helpful before reading it. Its primary weaknesses in my eyes are three, 1. Slightly dated data on general information about the era. Nothing severe, just a bit out of touch. 2. It was too sparse in its information on his posthumous transformation into Temman Daijizai Tenjin. 3. It would have been nice to see a romanized form of some of his Kanshi poetry- considering that it is what Michizane was best at, and how important tonality, rather than just content is to that, being able to read it in the original, as was always provided for his Japanese poetry, would have been nice.
