KaifÅ«sÅ
The is the earliest extant poetry anthology of literary Sinitic ('' kanshi'') written by Japanese poets. It was compiled in 751. In the brief introduction of the poets, the unknown writer seems sympathetic to Emperor KÅbun and his regents who were overthrown in 672 by Emperor Tenmu after only eight months of the rule. Thus, it has been traditionally credited to Åmi no Mifune (722â785), a great grandson of Emperor KÅbun. It also has been said that Fujii no Hironari (n.d., fl. first half of 8th century) and Isonokami no Yakatsugu (729â781) could be the compiler. The kanji "sÅ (è»)" in the title means a water-plant, which is a metaphor for elegant style.

Multi-storied pagodas in wood and stone, and a ''gorintÅ'' Pagodas in Japan are called , sometimes or and historically derive from the Chinese pagoda, itself an interpretation of the Indian '' stupa''. Like the ''stupa'', pagodas were originally used as reliquaries but in many cases they ended up losing this function. Pagodas are quintessentially Buddhist and an important component of Japanese Buddhist temple compounds but, because until the Kami and Buddhas Separation Act of 1868, a Shinto shrine was normally also a Buddhist temple and vice versa, they are not rare at shrines either. The famous Itsukushima Shrine, for example, has one. After the Meiji Restoration the word ''tÅ'', once used exclusively in a religious context, came to mean also "tower" in the western sense, as for example in . Of the Japanese pagoda's many forms, some are built in wood and are collectively known as , but most are carved out of stone (. Wood pagodas are large buildings with either two s ...
