Sakai Harbor:
When ships from the foreign south sailed to and fro what a mingling of springs and autumns there must have been
-Yosano Akiko, celebrating the diversity of the early days of Sakai, her birthplace and now Berkeley’s sister city, translated by Janine Beichman
Berkeley’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.
The current plate features poetry by the Japanese writer and poet Shō Hō (her pen name is Yosano Akiko) (1878-1942), one of the pioneers of feminism. The connection to Berkeley appears on the sign itself, the poet was born in the city of Sakai, a twin city to Berkeley, and her port appears in the poem
