There are two kinds of confectionery in Japan. One is made by a machine and sold as a product. Another one is handmade. Among these handmade Japanese sweets, called ”Wagashi” are connected with Japanese culture.
Wagashi are seen by the eye and the color and form are enjoyed. The name of wagashi describes the season. I easily drew the wagashi's pictures with waka. Waka means the 31-syllable Japanese poem, also called Tanka. The Kokin and the Shin-kokin wakashu anthologies were written between the 8th to the 13th century. These waka were selected from the anthologies and if we found the name of wagashi in them. We touch ancient people's hearts through waka poems.
This time, I added additional notes. I also posted other interesting sweets linked to Japanese culture, so please enjoy them.

Very nice compilation of wagashi images and waka. As a student of tea ceremony and a hobbyist okashi maker, this collection will be a useful source of seasonal poetic names and associated poetry for classes and chaji. It would be even more useful though if the japanese name (gomei) for each sweet was given in romaji or even hiragana for each entry - right now it's just the translated name of each sweet in English and the Japanese name in kanji, so you have to be able to translate the characters to read and use the gomei. It would also be great to have the photo of each real okashi before or after the card entry, rather than grouped at the beginning so you have to guess which real sweet matches the drawing. These additions would definitely being this up to 5 stars!Product details

Wagashi and Waka Japanese culture Book 8 eBook Momoyo Nishimura Elizabeth Kondo Mitsuko Saito Reviews
This book covers, for me, the other aspects of Wagashi the meaning behind the seasons and how they affect the Wagashi. How color, shape, nature, and poetry are thoughtfully and purposefully interpreted and chosen for each item, bite, and experience. For Wagashi is a total experience, and definitely one for all of the senses.
I only wish that the book was not only a historical, visual and poetry book, but also included some recipes and techniques on how to make some of the Wagashi from each of the seasons; a different type.
As I saw the first glimpse of this book about Wagashi. This book is about how the Japanese view of wagashi which brings the 4 seasons, and their motifs (designs) that reflect a particular wagashi. Each wagashi is visually appealing, and poem about the nature of design of the wagashi talks about it too as well. This book has an interesting context about wagashi, but there are no recipes of wagashi. If you are interested how the different types of wagashi reflects on each of the season, and poems talk about Japanese culture of each wagashi. This book is for you.
