Thank you for your comment. It is a rather ...Noah,<br />Thank you for your comment. It is a rather large endeavor to translate the 100 poems. I am not surprised that you cannot find all of them online. I don't speak Japanese, so my work to make sense of them myself before I post them will most likely take some time since I don't work on it everyday. The book referenced above has a translation into English that is easier to understand than others that I have come across. If you cannot afford the book, try this link. http://www.teadogu.com/100poofsen.htmlsweetpersimmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670213698914530826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-6358738529817904582016-06-16T05:11:48.912-07:002016-06-16T05:11:48.912-07:00Ok, aside from the book, I can only find these poe...Ok, aside from the book, I can only find these poems in 1 webpage on line. Sadly it's not a complete translation. I have found a few people reference them on a few websites like this but I can not find it on line fully. Will your translation be out any time soon? I would really like to read them all with out dropping $80 on the book, since I can't afford it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978632737537697615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-39186568098658089022012-04-26T21:33:41.321-07:002012-04-26T21:33:41.321-07:00I bought this book -- thank you so much for tellin...I bought this book -- thank you so much for telling me about it!

I have about 3 different ones, and I am also taking a form of translation from my notes from Kyoto when I studied at the Urasenke headquarters. I am combining all of them and trying to comment on them as they relate to my own study.<br /><br />A recent translation of the poems came out, but there wasn't any commentary so some of them may or may not make sense to you. The book is titled: Sen Genshitsu Talks About The Enjoyment of Tea, ISBN 4-473-03296-5.sweetpersimmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670213698914530826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-73282124691883203122012-02-23T06:37:56.935-08:002012-02-23T06:37:56.935-08:00I just found your blog.

I study chado in Boston at a new (~40 years old) school started by a Japanese artist http://www.kajiasostudio.com/webroot/tea.cfm <br />I was wondering, are the Rikyu Hyakushu published in English translation in any book or magazine that you know of? Or are you translating them all yourself from Japanese?

It will take a while to get all the poems up, and I want to be thoughtful of what I write, but it is a good project for me.<br />Margiesweetpersimmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670213698914530826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-70359146792275816622011-06-15T11:55:06.795-07:002011-06-15T11:55:06.795-07:00Thanks - I'm looking forward to your thoughts ...Thanks - I'm looking forward to your thoughts on more of this collection of teachings ...<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200088969448098771.post-69619438919607718782011-06-12T17:18:48.465-07:002011-06-12T17:18:48.465-07:00Nordic lotus, thank you for your comment.
