Abstract
Abstract: “Complete Devotion” ( Miotsukushi ), by Masuda Masako, is Part Two of Robe of Love ( Koigoromo , 1905), a book of poems she published with Yamakawa Tomiko and Yosano Akiko. Here I present a brief introduction to Masuda Masako’s life and poetry, followed by translations of the 114 tanka of “Complete Devotion.” For a fuller introduction to Robe of Love and a translation of Yamakawa Tomiko’s “White Lily,” please see “ Koigoromo (Robe of Love) Part 1” in the U.S.-Japan Women’s Journal , number 63/64 (2023), pages 53–97. The third and final section of Robe of Love , consisting of Yosano Akiko’s tanka and shintaishi (new-style poems), will appear in the next issue of this journal.
