Akiko Yosano (1878–1942)
Author of Tangled Hair : Selected Tanka from Midaregami
About the Author
Yosano's romantic verse and concern for the welfare of the individual inspired her contemporaries and generations of later poets. While later feminist writers felt the need to abandon their traditional roles in order to write, Yosano felt that her love affair and eventual marriage with her teacher show more of tanka (Yosano Tekkan), her raising of 11 children, and her life as a homemaker and mother stimulated her creativity.
