Explanation and Etymology - (詩人) shijin
The Japanese word 詩人 (shijin) is composed of two kanji characters: 詩 (shi) which means "poetry" and 人 (jin) which means "person". Therefore, 詩人 can be translated as "person of poetry" or "poet". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when poetry was a highly valued form of art in the Japanese imperial court. At that time, poets were called uta-shi (poetry writers) or waka-shi (writers of waka, a type of Japanese poetry). It was only in the Kamakura period (1185-1333) that the word 詩人 began to be used to refer to poets. Since then, the word has been used to describe poets of all eras and literary styles.How to Write in Japanese - (詩人) shijin
