	Waka - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The waka in the Man'yōshū had no fixed form, but already poets in the late 7th century, in the time of the empress Saimei began to create Choka and Tanka in the form we know today.
		Nukata no Okimi, Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, Yamabe no Akahito, Yamanoue no Okura, Otomo no Tabito and his son Yakamochi were the greatest poets in this anthology.
		He also praised Minamoto no Sanetomo, the third Shogun of Kamakura Shogunate, who was a disciple of Fujiwara Teika and made waka in a style much like that in the Man'yōshū.

		Traditionally waka in general has had no concept of rhyme (indeed, certain arrangements of rhymes, even accidental, were considered dire faults in a poem), or even of line.
		Newly created haikai no renga featuring the hokku as the opening verse (of which haiku was a late 19th-century revision) was the favored genre.
		He also praised Minamoto no Sanetomo, the third Shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, who was a disciple of Fujiwara Teika and composed waka in a style much like that in the Man'yōshū.

	JAANUS / Ise monogatari-e 伊勢物語絵
		While the majority of verses are anonymous, the famous 9c poet Ariwara no Narihira 在原業平 (825-80), one of the "Six Poetic Geniuses" (*rokkasen 六歌仙), figures prominently in the Tales, so they can be read in part as his fictional biography.
		It recounts that a handscroll, emaki 絵巻, of The Tales of Ise is presented in a poetry contest (Chapter 17, E-awase 絵合) and that "a painting of Zaigo (Ariwara the fifth rank)" is shown to a princess (Chapter 47, *Agemaki 総角).
		There are no extant versions of Ise monogatari-e dating from the Heian period, however, the earliest is the mid-13c handscroll of "The Tales of Ise" in the *hakubyou 白描 style (Hakubyou Ise monogatari emaki 白描伊勢物語絵巻; nineteen fragments of painting survive in the various collections).

		The compilers of the anthology were four court poets, led by Ki no Tsurayuki and including Ki no Tomonori (who died before its completion), Ōshikōchi Mitsune, and Mibu no Tadamine.
		The Japanese preface by Ki no Tsurayuki is also the beginning of Japanese criticism as distinct from the far more prevalent Chinese poetics in the literary circles of its day.
		Major poets of the kokinshū include Ariwara no Narihira, Ono no Komachi, Henjō and Fujiwara no Okikaze, apart from the compilers themselves.

		Narihira finds true love in exile, away from the strictures of the politically motivated court, while all Toyokage's amorous adventures take place within the capital and the court.
		Furthermore, Narihira finds his women away from the capital, while Toyokage's are in the capital; Narihira continues his "courtly" ways even when in exile, but this cannot be the motive behind Toyokage's actions, as he has never left the capital.
		Unlike Narihira, Toyokage confines his attentions to his social equals without attempting to bed women set aside for the emperor; unlike Heichuu, he does not compete with any Fujiwara for the affections of courtesans; in short, he plays thoroughly by the rules of court society.

		Narihira, like Komachi, was one of the Six Immortals of Poetry of his time, and the preface to the Kokinshu appraises him as follows: 'Ariwara no Narihira has too much heart and too few words.
		Ariwara no Narihira, whose vow founded this temple, left to the world his name; and the mark of his shade, they say, lies under this mound.

		Bargen counters these theories and argues that the mono no ke spirit is best understood as "the deadly discrepancy between Yûgao and the selves that others forced her to be" (p.
		In other words, in keeping with her thesis that mono no ke possessions were women's weapons "to counter male strategies of empowerment," Bargen suggests that it is Yûgao's way of getting back at Genji for his treatment of her.
		There is no doubt some aspect of that present, but perhaps Bargen overstates her case by assuming that women like Yûgao gained nothing from a liaison with Genji and that the issue was so cut and dried.

	A poem and a painting Magazine Antiques - Find Articles
		Traditionally, virtually the entire work has been ascribed to the legendary poet Ariwara no Narihira (824-880), who was banished from Kyoto to the provinces because of an improper relationship with a lady of higher rank in the court.
		Neither Narihira's fame as an elegant and accomplished poet (and poetry in Heian Japan reigned supreme overall the arts) nor his supporters at court or among the literary elite could spare him the allotted punishment.
		While it is unlikely that Narihira wrote the entire Tale, clearly whoever wrote the short poem was familiar with Narihira's story, capturing in the thirty-three syllables of the original Japanese the emotional and geographical landscape of separation.

	Women of the Pleasure Quarters
		To create a well-ordered society in which there would be no room for the slightest possibility of rebellion or upheaval, the shogunate adopted neo-Confucianism, with its rigid codes of behavior and emphasis on hierarchy and respect for authority, as the official basis of government and the underlying ethical code for society.
		But no matter how rich the merchants became, they were prohibited from using their wealth to improve their status by, for example, marrying into a samurai family or moving into the samurai section of town.
		She was sold to the pleasure quarters at the age of six and at fourteen was so beautiful and accomplished that she was promoted to the rank of tayu, a rare and extraordinary honor.

		According to popular tradition, Ariwara no Narihira, the famous poet, and the daughter of Ki no Aritusne were childhood playmates.
		Sometime thereafter, Narihira begins an affair with another woman, but the sweet longing of his wife, expressed in a well-known poem, draws him back to her.
		"His heart swelled with love for her, and his visits to [the lady in] Kawachi ceased." In the No play, this plot kernel is embedded in the conventional framework of the two-part ghost play.

		It was composed when Narihira went to the East, having had to leave the capital Kyoto--and it seemed likely that he would never go back.
		This is a famous poem in a famous tale and this kind of 'feeling of homesickness toward the capital Kyoto' had formed a kind of pattern (kata) and was shared by many exiled aristocrats of the time.
		And their tears were shed for Narihira, too, since they shed tears for the common pattern shared by Narihira, Genji and all unfortunate people who had to suffer this fate.

	2001 Waka - Narihira
		Ariwara no Narihira (825-880), though an historical personage has become so confused with the legends surrounding him that little can be said of the circumstances of his life with any certainty.
		He was friends with Prince Koretaka, often accompanying him on hunting trips, and something of a lover, judging by his poems, but beyond that little is known.
		Nevertheless, he was also the author of the most famous tanka of all (KKS XV: 747), on the moon and springtime.

	Futai-ji Temple
		In the 14th year of the Jowa era (847), Futai-ji Temple was founded by Ariwara-no Narihira (a classical poet), who sculptured the Sho-Kannon Bodhisattva, popularly called Blessed Merciful Goddess.
		Another name of the temple is "Narihira-dera," or Temple of Narihira.
		Its meaning comes from Narihira's wish of "Horin-o tenjite shirizokazu (always willing to tell the truth)" in order to save the common people of the time.

		The form of almost all the Kokinshu poems, and all of Ono no Komachi's, is the tanka, almost the only pattern used in Japanese poetry until, 800 years later, the haiku became established--by dropping the last two lines of the tanka.
		Ono no Komachi was evidently one of these, early in the period, who then became legend.
		One of these was Shii no Shoshu, a captain that she required to keep vigil outside her home for a hundred nights.

		The two brothers Ariwara-no-Yukihira and Narihira were the grandchildren of Emperor Heizei, the first son of Emperor Kanmu.
		However, after Emperor Heizei's reign, the throne had been inherited by Emperor Saga, Emperor Heizei's younger brother, and his descendents, so these brothers were not too happy living in the imperial capital of Kyoto.
		Upon seeing this, Narihira wrote another waka poem: "I wonder if those lights are stars in the clear night sky, or fireflies along the river.

		An argument developed among those present at the game - people were divided over whether the figure depicted on the fan which Yamashina no Shosho presented to the judge was the courtier and poet Ariwara no Narihira or the fictional prince Hikaru Genji (The Shining Prince, hero of 'The Tale of Genji').
		The spirits of both Narihira and Hikaru Genji spoke through the maidens and revealed that the figure painted on the fan was Hikaru Genji.
		The inscription on a paper slip on the cover reads: '[the text is] in the hand of Lady Ichii no Tsubone, daughter of Lord Asukai Eiga' [Eiga was the name assumed by Grand Counsellor Asukai Masachika (1417-90) when he became a monk]; however, this cannot be proved.

	THE CHERRY BLOSSOM IN HEIAN WAKA POETRY
		A careful study of the Kokinshu suggests that Ki no Tsurayuki, one of its chief compilers and a great poet in his own right, set out a very loose system of basic indications to serve as a guide for those who wished to treat the cherry blossom theme in poetic form.
		This gives us no assurance that the order in which the wakas have come down to us is the original one, nor can we be entirely sure that Tsurayuki’s famous introduction to that anthology did not suffer changes or interpolations in later times.
		In compositions on the cherry blossom theme there usually is no reference to humidity or dampness, because this would stop the petals from flurrying.
