Summary:Book seventeen of the Man'yōshῡ ('Anthology of Myriad Leaves') continues Alexander Vovin's new English translation of this 20-volume work originally compiled between c.759 and 782 AD.

Book seventeen is the fifth volume of the Man'yōshῡ to be published to date (following books fifteen (2009), five (2011), fourteen (2012) and twenty (2013)).
