Sakutarō bol japonský spisovateľ voľného verša, aktívny v obdobiach Taišo a rannej Šówa. Oslobodil japonský voľný verš zo zovretia tradičných pravidiel a je považovaný za „otca modernej hovorovej poézie v Japonsku“. Počas svojej dlhej kariéry publikoval mnoho zväzkov esejí, literárnej a kultúrnej kritiky a aforizmov. Jeho jedinečný štýl veršov vyjadroval pochybnosti o existencii, strachy, nudu a hnev prostredníctvom temných obrazov a jednoznačného vyjadrovania.“,

"This anthology of over 60 of Sato's commentaries reflect the writer's wide-ranging erudition and his unsentimental views of both his native Japan and his adopted American homeland. Broadly he looks at the Pacific War and its aftermath and at war (and our love of it) in general, at the quirks and curiosities of the natural world exhibited by birds and other creatures, at friends and mentors who surprised and inspired, and finally at other writers and their works, many of them familiar--the Beats and John Ashbery, for example, and Mishima--but many others whose introduction is welcome"-- Amazon
