TransLiterary Lab (#9): live analysis / translation of Japanese literature (“Akita Kaidou” by Kenji Miyazawa)

I’m running a YouTube series called “TransLiterary Lab” (文学翻訳ラボ) where I do analysis and translation of short excerpts of Japanese literature. You can see more information about this series in this post.

In this episode I go through the analysis and initial translation for the first few lines of 秋田街道 (Akita Kaidou) by 宮沢賢治 (Kenji Miyazawa), for which you can the full original text here.
