明治三十年代(1897~1906),上田敏的译诗集《海潮音》(1905)以及大正初年永井荷风的译诗集《珊瑚集》(1913),把法国的象征派诗歌引进日本诗坛。法国的象征派诗的艺术特色是,富于音乐感,不直接表现事实、感情和思想,感觉性的暗示多于解释,含蓄多于畅尽,诗人不追求单纯明朗,不要求 In the 1930s (1897-1906) of the Meiji period, Ueda Toshiaki’s transliterated collection of poems “Tide of the Sea” (1905) and translation of Nagai’s first collection of poems “Coral Collection” (1913) introduced the French symbolism poetry to the Japanese poetry circles. The artistic characteristic of the French symbolism poem is that it is full of musical feeling and does not directly represent facts, feelings and thoughts. The suggestive sensations are more than explanations, implicitly more than exhaustive ones, and the poets do not pursue simple and clear ones.
