Hello! First of all, English is not my first language, so I apologize and hope you can understand me. I plan to do a research on the representation of rivers in literature and I would like to do something related to Japanese literature. Although I would prefer poetry, it can be a book too. However, I don’t remember any work that I could do the research about. Doesn’t need to be that important in the story/poem, just something that I can work with (like, rivers representing the passing of time, how the story changes after passing by the river, idk anything that I could somewhat try working with?). I’m new to academic researching so… I don’t know if my question sounds too confusing.
I like Saigyo Hoshi’s and Matsuo Bansho’s poems a lot but idk if I could research on them about this…
