Ki no Tsurayuki
A collection of Stamatiad's best poems came out in 1943, at Editura Fundațiilor Regale, under the title "Cortegiul amintirilor" ("The Cortege of Memories"). Additionally, he worked on translations which reflected the new political trends. Also in 1943, he published "Eșarfe de mătase" ("Silk Scarves") one of Romania's earliest selections of Japanese poetry. Japanese mannerisms had preoccupied Stamatiad for some years, and "Peisagii sentimentale" comprised some of his own "haiku" (and, to a lesser degree, "senryū"). He had unsuccessfully approached Editura Vremea with a collection of "tanka" attributed to "Japanese courtesans", possibly loose adaptations of the "honkadori" format. "Eșarfe de mătase" comprised 200 pieces in indirect translation from French. It sampled not just "haiku" and "tanka", but also "nagauta" texts, with highlights from the legendary Susanoo and the historical Ki no Tsurayuki. Some of its modern-era inclusions were Matsuo Bashō, Yokoi Yayū, Kobayashi Issa, and contemporaries such as Akiko Yosano and Horiguchi Daigaku.
