is a collection of tanka (短歌, “Short poem”), written by the Japanese writer Akiko Yosano during the Meiji period in 1901. Although later celebrated for its softly feminist depictions of a woman's sexual freedom, her work suffered heavy criticism at the time of publication for subverting contemporary gender norms. ==Introduction== Before their publication as a collection, Yosano's 399 poems were written as a diary of the imagery and inner workings of her life during the time of her sexual awakening and courtship. Each poem presented a vivid picture of a lively, free woman who did not wait for others to decide who she could love. She possessed an independent sexuality and sought out love on her own time and her own terms, rather than waiting for a man to come to her. Yosano emphasized the beauty of her female subject by descriptions of breasts, skin, lips, shoulders, and black hair. The young woman inhabits an unconventionally self-centered world, and is first encountered combing her long, luxurious black hair, welcoming the morning with triumphant passion. :''Sono ko hatachi kushi ni nagaruru kurokami no ogori no haru no utsukushiki kana'' :That child of 20, a comb in the waves of her black hair, takes pride in the beauty of her spring. This hair later on becomes tangled with sin, in which the now anguished woman wanders like a lost lamb. She turns to the sutras and Buddha for redemption, but eventually, tangled hair and all, the young woman is able to hold onto her love without the help of religion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Midaregami」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
