Early in the Meiji Era, F. V. Dickins translated a lot of Japanese Literature into English, such as Hyak-Nin-Isshiu (1866), Taketori-Monogatari (1888), Ho-Jo-Ki (1905) and primitive & mediaeval poems (1906). Regrettably, he is not so well known as such English Japanologists as B. H. Chamberlain, W. G. Aston and E. Satow. He is known only through his friendship with Minakata Kumagusu, and as the author of The Life of Sir Harry Parkes, which was rendered into Japanese by Professor Kenkichi Takanashi. I would very much like to see him recognized as an important pioneer of Japanology who introduced many works of Japanese poetry & prose to the West. I wrote about his translation of Hyak-Nin-Isshiu and Manyoshu in the book Tanka no Miryoku (Invitation to Tanka) in 1992 and read a paper about Taketori-Monogatari before Nihon Eigakushi Gakukai (Historical Society of English Studies in Japan) in January, 1993. In this paper, I wrote about his other translations. 1. PRIMITIVE & MEDIAEVAL JAPANESE TEXTS (1906) i. Kojiki and Nihongi ii. Some mediaeval short lays Kokinshu & Hyakunin Isshiu which are the polished version of the previous translation in 1866. iii. Epigrams-Hokku Haiku poems by Basho and other modern haiku poets. iv. The Preface to the Kokinshu by Kino Tsurayuki v. The No, or Mime of Takasago 2. Ho-Jo-Ki translated by Minakata Kumagusu & F. V. Dickins I have yet to take up the translations of Chiushingura and some other works.
