The significance of this study can be divided into two, theoretical and practical significances.
1.4.1 Theoretical Significance Theoretically, this study is expected to give contribution to the translation
studies, especially in the field of metaphors that occur in the Japanese poetry. The important parts of this study are the translation strategies used to translate
metaphors, the shifts taking place in the translation of metaphors and conceptual metaphors between two different languages, namely, Japanese and Indonesian.
1.4.2 Practical Significance Practically, this study is expected to give constructive information to the
translator, particularly those who are much involved in the translation of Japanese poetry. This study would be a useful reference for the translator to be carefully
used in translating metaphors, making shifts, and conceptual metaphors in Japanese and Indonesian. This study can also be helpful to those who will conduct
research in the same field of study.
