Japanese Literature (br) Iwanami Bunko / In 1953, OE Mitsuo (1906-91) compiled a collection of 227 poems composed by 73 residents of eight Hansen's disease sanatoriums across the country. Rather than calling their circumstances "destiny," the poets emphasized the affirmation of life, their affection for human beings, and their protest against discrimination. It shines as a monument and library of postwar poetry. (Commentary by OE Mitsuo and Tetsuya Kimura)
