From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Shingoshuishū ("New Later Collection of Gleanings", a title which recollects the Goshūishū and the Shinshūishū) was an imperial anthology of Japanese waka; it was finished somewhere around 1383 CE (and revised in 1384), eight years after the Emperor Go-Enyū first ordered it in 1375 at the request of the Ashikaga Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. It was compiled by Fujiwara no Tametō (a member of the older conservative Nijo), and finished by Fujiwara no Tameshige (again, a Nijo partisan); its Japanese Preface is notable because it was authored by Nijo Yoshimoto, who Brower and Miner describe as "an important conservative critic and poet of the renga, or linked verses." It consists of twenty volumes containing 1,554 poems.
