In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 8, sentence 25
So the term _ittakkiri_—meaning “all gone,” or “entirely vanished,” in the sense of “all told,”—is contemptuously applied to verses in which the verse-maker has uttered his whole thought;—praise being reserved for compositions that leave in the mind the thrilling of a something unsaid.
Who acts: term ittakkiri, sense, verse maker, compositions, maker · What happens: mean, vanish, tell, apply, utter, reserve · To what, where: sense, all, whole thought, verses, praise, thrilling · Speech: someone speaks here
