New style poetry collection - Shintai Shisho

Japanese: 新体詩抄 - しんたいししょう

A collection of poems. 1 volume. Published in August 1882. The correct title is "Shintai Shisho, Shohen". However, volumes 2 and below have never been published. Co-edited by Shoichi Toyama, Ryokichi Yatabe, and Tetsujiro Inoue, it consists of 14 translated poems and 5 original poems. It was intended to improve traditional Japanese poetry, which was mainly tanka and haiku, and to create a new style of poetry (→ Shintai shi) modeled on "Western poetry". Some of the most famous poems are "A Section in Mr. Shakespeare's Hamlet", "Mr. Gray's Thoughts on the Tomb", and "The Song of the Batto-Brigade", but the works themselves are lacking in artistic merit and are merely intended to introduce a new style of poetry. It was republished in 1884 as "Shintai Shisho".

Japanese:

詩集。1巻。 1882年8月刊。正しくは『新体詩抄　初編』。ただし第2巻以下は刊行されていない。外山正一，矢田部良吉，井上哲次郎の共編で，訳詩 14編，創作詩5編から成り，短歌，俳句中心の在来の日本詩歌の改良を目指して，「西洋ノ詩」にならった新体の詩形 (→新体詩 ) を創始しようと意図した。『シェークスピール氏ハムレット中の一段』『グレー氏墳上感懐の詩』『抜刀隊の歌』などが著名であるが，作品自体の芸術性は乏しく，新詩形を紹介したという意義にとどまっている。なお 84年『新体詩鈔』として再刊された。
