It is such a great joy to know that Misuzu Kaneko’s poetry is being published by Chin Music Press and will reach North American readers. Misuzu Kaneko’s poems are part of every child’s curriculum at Japanese elementary schools. Her poems have been translated into eleven languages, and most of those editions were published overseas. It is my hope that Misuzu Kaneko’s words, which possess a deep kindness toward all things whether they are alive or inanimate, like rocks and soil, will touch the hearts of those who pick up this book. I dream that one day, when all of the world’s children grow up and set out on their journeys, that they do so with Misuzu Kaneko’s spirit in their hearts and her poems on their lips. I dream that that day will become a reality. I am deeply grateful to David Jacobson and the many others who have helped give shape to this book.
