Sharing a link - A few wonderful finds from the internet

Came across this little library of works from Asia - available online here. 

And a few poems: Hyaku Nin Isshu in English (1907) - A hundred poets, a hundred poems - Available here. One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each (Hyakunin Isshu)

Another translation here.  A list of other Japanese poems.
And on the same blog, there is a very interesting page about Japanese fiction as well.

One of the poems:


For thy sake,
I come out in the Spring field,
And the wakana I gather,—
Lo, the snow-flakes falling on my gown.

-- Kwoko Tenno
