Nijōin No Sanuki Shū
The ''Nijōin no Sanuki Shū'' (二条院讃岐集), also known as the ''Sanuki-shū'' (讃岐集) is a Japanese anthology of ''waka'' poetry. It is the personal anthology ('' kashū'') of Nijōin no Sanuki. The text dates to before 1187, probably 1182, and probably originally consisted of 100 poems, but the manuscript tradition is incomplete and the most that have been recovered is 98. The surviving manuscripts all come from the same textual line, but are divided by critical scholars into two groups based on orthographic differences. Compiler and date The ''Nijōin no Sanuki Shū'' was probably completed before the ''Senzai Wakashū'' was first presented to the emperor in 1187. Sanuki probably compiled the anthology herself in 1182, when she was in her early forties, in response to Kamo no Shigeyasu's solicitation of private collections of 100 poems by contemporary poets of the Juei era, the ''Juei Hyakushu Kashū'' (寿永百首家集).

Stanzaic Form
In poetry, a stanza (; from Italian ''stanza'' , "room") is a group of lines within a poem, usually set off from others by a blank line or indentation. Stanzas can have regular rhyme and metrical schemes, but they are not required to have either. There are many different forms of stanzas. Some stanzaic forms are simple, such as four-line quatrains. Other forms are more complex, such as the Spenserian stanza. Fixed verse poems, such as sestinas, can be defined by the number and form of their stanzas. The stanza has also been known by terms such as ''batch'', ''fit'', and ''stave''. The term ''stanza'' has a similar meaning to ''strophe'', though ''strophe'' sometimes refers to an irregular set of lines, as opposed to regular, rhymed stanzas. Even though the term "stanza" is taken from Italian, in the Italian language the word "strofa" is more commonly used. In music, groups of lines are typically referred to as '' verses''. The stanza in poetry is analogous with the paragraph ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Japanese Poetry
Japanese poetry is poetry typical of Japan, or written, spoken, or chanted in the Japanese language, which includes Old Japanese, Early Middle Japanese, Late Middle Japanese, and Modern Japanese, as well as poetry in Japan which was written in the Chinese language or '' ryūka'' from the Okinawa Islands: it is possible to make a more accurate distinction between Japanese poetry written in Japan or by Japanese people in other languages versus that written in the Japanese language by speaking of Japanese-language poetry. Much of the literary record of Japanese poetry begins when Japanese poets encountered Chinese poetry during the Tang dynasty (although the Chinese classic anthology of poetry, ''Shijing'', was well known by the literati of Japan by the 6th century). Under the influence of the Chinese poets of this era Japanese began to compose poetry in Chinese '' kanshi''); and, as part of this tradition, poetry in Japan tended to be intimately associated with pictorial painting, p ...

Kojijū-shū
The ''Kojijū-shū'' (小侍従集) is a Japanese anthology of ''waka'' poetry. It is the personal anthology ('' kashū'') of Kojijū. Compiler and date The earliest form of the ''Kojijū-shū'', the personal anthology of the twelfth-century ''waka'' poet Kojijū, was compiled by the poet herself around 1181 for submission to a collection of personal anthologies. Later editors then created different sets of poems based on this earlier text. For more details, see '' #Contents'' below. Contents There are four versions of the text in the surviving manuscripts, which are referred to as ''kō'', ''otsu'', ''hei'' and ''tei'' (甲乙丙丁). The ''kō'' text, the earliest, was probably compiled by Kojijū herself in the summer or autumn of 1181, in response to a request from Kamo no Shigeyasu (賀茂重保). It is composed of two sections on "the seasons and love" and "various topics", consisting of 118 poems and 69 poems respectively. The ''otsu'' text was then created becaus ...

Waka (poetry)
is a type of poetry in classical Japanese literature. Although ''waka'' in modern Japanese is written as , in the past it was also written as (see Wa, an old name for Japan), and a variant name is . Etymology The word ''waka'' has two different but related meanings: the original meaning was "poetry in Japanese" and encompassed several genres such as ''chōka'' and ''sedōka'' (discussed below); the later, more common definition refers to poetry in a 5-7-5-7-7 metre. Up to and during the compilation of the ''Man'yōshū'' in the eighth century, the word ''waka'' was a general term for poetry composed in Japanese, and included several genres such as , , and . However, by the time of the '' Kokinshūs compilation at the beginning of the tenth century, all of these forms except for the ''tanka'' and ''chōka'' had effectively gone extinct, and ''chōka'' had significantly diminished in prominence. As a result, the word ''waka'' became effectively synonymous with ''tanka'', and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sankashū
''Sankashū'' (山家集, , “Collection of a Mountain Home”) is a collection of poems by Saigyō, most probably made by the poet himself, and issued c.1180. Dating Because the collection contains no poems from the last decade of Saigyō's life, 1180-90, he is thought to have closed it c.1180, and circulated it thereafter. Divisions The collection contains 1552 poems, and falls into three parts. The first (1-572) is divided into four sections containing poems of the four seasons; the second (573-1041) into two sections - Love and Miscellaneous; and the third (1042-1152) again into two sections - Miscellaneous Songs and One Hundred Songs. Quality Where much court poetry of the time was convoluted, the ''Sankashū'' is known for its directness of utterance. His early translator, Hei-Hachuro Honda, valorised Saigyō's poems of solitude over those that were involved in more communal activities. Later critics, however, have paid more attention to how his poetry was rooted both i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
