ABSTRACT

The two major genres of Kenji Miyazawa’s works are the fairy tale and poetry. His true feelings are better reflected in his poems than in his fairy tales, but Chinese translation of his poetry has not been published for long years. However, since 2015, Chinese translations of Miyazawa’s poetry have been published. This review provides a complete list of these books and summarizes their characteristics.
