Abstract

Many still think of Japanese poetry in the limited realm of haiku, yet in the last thirty years this traditional form has taken second place to a new form of poetry emerging to maturity especially after the Second World War. I feel that gendaishi (literally, contemporary poetry, especially the free-style poetry that evolved after the Second World War) acts as a kind of radar, registering the sensibilities and mentality of a world dominated by technology. In fact, its intricate precision and sophisticated compactness can be compared to certain aspects of present-day technology.KeywordsNational IdentitySecurity TreatyMeiji PeriodTotal RealityCultural ConvergenceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
