BD. Edmund Blunden

4. To Ishii Hakuson, 24 July, 1925. Foreword to Twelve Poems by Haxon Ishii. Tokyo: Bunka Insatsusha, 1925.

Blunden was a tireless champion of young Japanese who wrote in English (see also, for example, 6, 7, 28, and 123). He writes here of the pleasure and admiration he has felt in reading Ishii’s verse.
