Shokugoshuishu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shokugoshuishū ("Later Collection of Gleanings Continued", a title which recollects the Shokushūishū) was an imperial anthology of Japanese waka; it was finished somewhere around 1325 or 1326 CE, two or three years after the Retired Emperor Go-Daigo first ordered it in 1323. It was compiled initially by Fujiwara no Tamefuji, but had to be finished by Fujiwara no Tamesada (both members of the older conservative Nijo). It consists of twenty volumes containing 1,347 poems.
