Compilation and date The ''Un'yō Wakashū'' was the '' shisenshū'' (privately-compiled anthology) of Kujō Motoie. The collection has been dated to between the third month of 1253 and the third month of the following year. This date was arrived at on the basis of the last dated poem (#904) having been composed during a visit by the retired emperor to Tennōji in the third month of 1253, and Fujiwara no Narisane (藤原成実) being referred to as a courtier of the Senior Third Rank, when he was promoted to the Junior Second Rank on the eighth day of the third month of 1254. It is thought that Fujiwara no Tameie's publication of the '' Shoku Gosen Wakashū'' in late 1251 provided part of the impetus for the compilation of the ''Un'yō Wakashū''.
