Kokin Wakashu is an anthology of 1,111 Japanese poems (in the most widely circulated editions) compiled and edited early in the 10th century.
In 1938 when this manuscript was designated a "National Treasure" (later renamed "Important Cultural Property"), a collotype reproduction was prepared and titled the "Date Family Kokin Wakashu" because it had been presented to Date Masamune by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the 16th century and remained in the possession of the Date family until recently.
Two complete and meticulous English translations of Kokin Wakashu have been published in recent years: Kokinshu: A Collection of Poems Ancient and Modern, translated by L.R. Rodd with M.C. Henkenius (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1984); and Kokin Wakashu: The First Imperial Anthology of Japanese Poetry, translated by H.C. McCullough (Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 1984).

Im Vorwort des Kokin Wakashu findet sich die Klage, daß "in der heutigen Gesellschaft, wo die Menschen das vorziehen, was "Farbe" (iro) hat (also unmittelbar anspricht und anregt), sich das menschliche Herz in eine Blüte verwandelt hat", damit also selbst unbeständig und wechselhaft geworden ist.

The Tale of Genji (early 11th century) by Murasaki Shikibu is arguably the most famous work in all of Japanese literature, and is considered by many to be the first novel in Japan, if not the world.
Other important works of this period include the Kokin Wakashu (905) and The Pillow Book (990s), the latter written by Murasaki Shikibu's contemporary and rival, Sei Shonagon and written about the life, love, and pastimes of nobles in the Emperor's court.
The iroha poem was also written during this period, becoming the standard order for the Japanese syllabary until 19th century Meiji era reforms.
