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.
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
