Shokusenzaishu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shokusenzaishū ("Collection of a Thousand Years Continued", a title which recollects the Senzai Wakashū) was an imperial anthology of Japanese waka; it was finished somewhere around 1320 CE, two years after the Retired Emperor Go-Uda first ordered it in 1318. It was compiled by Fujiwara no Tameyo (who also compiled the Shingosen Wakashū, and was a member of the older conservative Nijo). It consists of twenty volumes containing 2,159 poems.
