Japanese poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the middle of the Heian period Waka revived with the compilation of the Kokin- wakashu (古今(和歌)集 kokin (waka)shū, "collection of ancient and modern poems"). It was 'team combat' on proposed themes grouped in similar manner to the grouping of poems in the Kokin Wakashu. The custom began in the reign of Emperor Uda, the father of Emperor Daigo who ordered the compilation of the Kokin Wakashu. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Japanese_poetry   (3357 words)

UVa Library Etext Center: Japanese Text Initiative 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). etext.lib.virginia.edu /japanese/kokinshu/intro.html   (1177 words)

JA216 assignments One tendency of Shin kokinshû-era poetry is for the shimo no ku to become increasingly independent of the *kami no ku.

Japanese Theory and Criticism Fully aware that the poetry of his country was largely lyrical, Tsurayuki stressed the importance of spontaneity in composition and harmony between emotion and words, comparing the creative process to the growth of a tree, from the germination of the seed to the eventual blossoming and bearing of fruit. The theory that had the greatest impact on practicing poets and writers was Marxism, but it produced few great works of literature or literary criticism. More fruitful was European symbolism, which had been introduced earlier and in the late 1920s became a motivating force for a literary movement called shin kankaku shugi ("neo-sensualism"). www.press.jhu.edu /books/hopkins_guide_to_literary_theory/japanese_theory_and_criticism.html   (3203 words)

Kamakura culture: the new Buddhism and its influence (from Japan) --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! But at the beginning of the Kamakura period, a brilliant circle of waka poets around the retired emperor Go-Toba produced a new imperial selection of poems entitled the Shin kokin wakashu. Among these may be included the Jodo, or Pure Land, sect mentioned earlier and its offshoot, the Shin (True) school, which sought reliance on the saving grace of Amida, and the sect established by the former Tendai priest Nichiren, which sought salvation in the Lotus Sutra. The waka of this period is characterized by the term yugen, which may be described as a mood both profound and mysterious. www.britannica.com /ebc/article-23148   (1573 words)

Retrospective Shows Japanese Calligrapher's Exquisite Line Among them is a long, elegant calligraphy hand scroll, ``Sixteen Poems From the Shin Kokin Wakashu,'' that now stands out in a stellar exhibition at the Philadephia Museum of Art, ``The Arts of Hon'ami Koetsu.'' This show -- the first retrospective ever devoted to Koetsu outside Asia -- makes it easy to see why, especially as a calligrapher, he is regarded as one of the supreme artists of Japan's Momoyama (1573-1615) and Edo (1615-1868) periods.

Glossary The theme of a spurned woman haunting a bridge makes its appearance in such works as the poetry anthology Kokin Wakashû (905/914) and The Tale of Heike (Heike monogatari, 13th century). The version that seems to supply the basis for the mask, and is incorporated into the noh play Kanawa, relates how a woman, enraged by jealousy, goes to the Kibune Shrine and petitions the gods to turn her into a demon so that she can have revenge. Named after a lost play that literaly translates as "Bridge Princess," Hashihime is heir to a complicated mix of oral and written traditions. www.glopac.org /Jparc/tjtglossary/mainGLOSS.html   (14365 words)
