#50 Tanka Hyakunin-Isshu English

#50 Tanka Hyakunin-Isshu By Fujiwara-no Yoshitaka（954～974) This poem expresses a deep shift in the speaker’s feelings about life and love. The poet says that even the life he once thought he could give up without regret for his beloved has now become something he wishes to keep for as long as possible, simply so he can stay with that person. It reflects how love transforms self-sacrifice into a desire to live. ~~~~~~~~ Mini Trivia ~~~~~~~~ In classical Japanese poetry, expressing willingness to die for love was common, but this poem is unique because it reverses that idea, presenting love as a reason to live instead.
