S8E12 Death Poetry part 2

Description

This week, I’m going to be continuing with the theme of death poetry, taking a look at some interesting areas:

  • Japanese prisoners of war, held in Japan and other countries, writing their jisei before their execution
  • Poems written by those about to commit seppuku
  • Poems from the ancient masters of our genre


Anyone who doesn’t want to listen to poems on these tough subjects, maybe come back next week.
