An Interpretation of Esthetic Philosophy of Man'yoshu

Japanese literature derived from Man'yoshu, the spiritual homeland of Japanese people. Man'yoshu provides a rich source for the Japanese literature, and has been known as Japan's The Book of Songs. The poems in Man'yoshu, in a plain and natural style, vividly depict Japanese society at ancient times when the feudal system enjoyed a period of growth. As a masterpiece of the classical literature, Man'yoshu has a great impact on the development of the literary works in the later ages.
