To be fair, that's because I really dislike poetry of this kind, inward looking and obsessed with suffering. The translator's preface makes it sound quite interesting, formally; apparently Sakutaro is known as a kind of modern Japanese Dante, using 'ordinary' language rather than the ultra-stylized language of previous poets. However, with this book, he returns to that stylized language. That's interesting. Poems which read, e.g.,
"How is it you are so noble,
so gentle, elegant, fragrant,

To start, I am a slave, a barn beast
I'll lie on my stomach under your feet, will serve you like a dog"?
