Abstract

American Imitations of Japanese Poetry
Taketomo, Torao | January 17, 1920 issue

Many years may pass before the poets of Japan and the U.S. will realize how closely they were related in the second decade of the twentieth century. The new movements in the poetry of the two countries, starting almost at the same time, have gone through much the same influences. They do not directly imitate one another, because both of them are facing in the same direction, and the French symbolists and the anesthetic poets of England are their predecessors. Yet it is impossible to overlook the supreme power of Walt Whitman in the present poetry of Japan and the undeniable imitation of the old Japanese poetry in the new poetry of the U.S.
