Professor Lynne K. Miyake

I enjoyed learning about periods of Japanese (Literary) History. So much information! I was particularly fascinated with the Tanka poetry form in the Heian period. I enjoyed deconstructing the pros to attempt to identify gender and believe my students would enjoy both reading and composing works in this style. It would be interesting to post the compilations without names and challenge the students to identify authorship by gender. What a cool intro to Japanese (Literary)History!
