Gosanka Poems 御讃歌集（初版）　昭和23年7月1日
Preface
Since antiquity, one of Japan’s unique literary forms has been the waka poem. Waka poems have a mystical power, and difficult topics that cannot be described even in ten thousand words, may be readily expressed in thirty-one syllables. Waka poetry has an uncanny power to move others. For these reasons, when I have the time, I compose poems of my impressions, about faith, about God and the divine, and from these poems, I have selected the verses that appear in this volume. I am not a trained poet, and most of these poems have been composed without wracking my brains but simply putting down what has naturally occurred to me. In composing poems, I have particularly tried to be mindful that they be easy for everyone to understand, that they maintain a sense of dignity, and that they convey the full beauty of the power of speech. Author July 1948
序　文　人も知るごとく、日本には昔から独特の文藝として和歌がある。この和歌なるものは不思議な力を有ってゐる。千言万語によっても言い表せない意味も僅か三十一文字で現し得る。しかもその人を動かす力に至っては予想外なるものがある。それらによって私は時折浮かんだ感想や道歌や神歌等の中から自選集録したのがこの著である。私は歌人ではないから、あまり頭を捻らないで、あるがままを自然に詠んだものが多いのである。ただ意を用いた点は判り易い事、品位を保つ事、言霊の美に意を注いだ事等である。　昭和二十三年七月　　　　　　　　　　　　　著者識
