Kokin Waka Syu [古今和歌集]

-Originals Only-

These translations are very basic. Each piece has a very deep poetic meaning that is difficult to translate to English.  If you would like know more about a specific one, please ask.

Kokin Waka Shu was published in the Heian period (798-1185) 
Emperor Daigo ordered 4 poets to make a “Collection of Japanese Poems”
In 905 (other theory shows it was 912), 1111 poems were published.

 

Please note that these items all have minor creasing on the upper right corner created during transit from Japan.

2[夏の夜はまだ宵ながら明けぬるを雲のいづこに月宿るらむ]清原深養父

How the moon is resting in the short summer nights
