  Shinkokinshu
The typology of the twenty books of Shinkokinshu was sufficient to encompass the entire range of topics considered suitable, as of the late 12th century, for the composition of court poetry, and thus gives a rough overview of how the world of poetic experience was delimited and partitioned at the time.
Given the immense authority accorded Kokinshu in the construction of this world, even the less conspicuous departures from its precedent are significant.
Haikai poems as represented in Kokinshu are not in fact prosodically different from conventional waka, but rather violate the esthetic ideals of court poetry, lexically or thematically, through their use of archaic or "inelegant" diction, tendentious humor, or extravagant conceits --- and thus they served by contraries to define the bounds of decorum.

 Japanese poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About 1,000 waka, mainly from the late Nara period till the contemporary times, were anthologized by five waka poets in the court including Kino Tsurayuki who wrote the "Preface in Kana" (Kanajo).
The Kana preface to Kokinshu was the second earliest expression of literary theory and criticism in Japan (the earliest was by Kukai).
Kukai's literary theory was not influential, but Kokinshu set the types of waka and hence other genres which would develop from waka.

Using the Kokinshu then as our sample (since much of the poetry was used in personal communications and not published) it may be gauged that the most prominent themes in the classical age were those of 'love' and 'the seasons'.
The poetry of the classical age in general saw a shift from using close imitations of Chinese models (as was the case in the earlier Man'yoshu anthology compiled in the Nara period up to 759) to a freer use of Chinese sources to enrich the Japanese tradition.
Kokinshu which became a standard for all such collections to come, did in fact restrict poetry...to the fixed form of the uta and the fixed thematics of the seasons, love, felicitations and several other topics.

The parts of the kokinshu are ordered as follows: Parts 1-6 covered the four seasons, followed by congratulatory poems, poetry at partings, and travel poems.
The kokinshu is the first of the nijuichidaishu poetry until the late nineteenth century.
The poems of the kokinshu were ordered temporally; the love poems, for instance, depict the progression and fluctuations of a courtly love-affair.

One excellent website with links to Kokinshu poetry: http://www.shef.ac.uk/japan2001/introduction.shtml Once the poem is retrieved, the students must work together to identify (1) the speaker (2) the meaning or the idea being conveyed (3) identify any poetic devices used in the poem.
The Kokinshu was the first in a series of Japanese collections of poetry that were commissioned by the imperial court.
Waka poetry found in the Kokinshu was written entirely by members of the court and thus reveals their world-view.

Syntactically, a majority of the poems in Kokinshu can be parsed as a single compound sentence or as two simple sentences; in the latter case, these are often in a relation of question and answer, enigma or dilemma and (often inadequate) solution, or a generalization followed by a restrictive condition.
One consequence of the editors' concern with arranging the poems into larger esthetically tangible patterns was that they omitted a number of the finest poems at their disposal (most of which were eventually seized upon by later anthologists) and included many which have never since been estimated very highly.
The early textual history of Kokinshu is obscure and complicated by a number of variant texts which apparently reflect different stages of the editorial process.

 Ono no Komachi
The assumption is that her life, which, in later legend, came to be presented as a long one, was totally contained within the 9th century.
The preface to the Kokinshu is also famous for the first statement of Japanese attitudes toward the function of poetry: to express feelings, often in response to nature, "about the bush warbler singing among the blossoms or the frog in the water.
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.

 Ise
The first 33 poems of the shu create, with their prose introductions, a narrative (perhaps fictional) of her early years at court, a narrative that is usually called the Ise nikki.
Kokinshu contains 22 of Ise's poems; an anthology of the 950s, Gosenshu, has over 70; still later anthologies continued to include her work.
(a) From the last major imperial anthology, the Shin Kokinshu of the early 1200s: "I would forget you"; "Even in your dreams"; "On Suminoe"; "Do you recall,"; "In a spring night"; "Our meeting." The translations are by Thomas McAuley; for each, the Japanese is given in script and romanization.

 "Inspiration from Early Japanese Poetry" by Bas Rijken Van Olst
In the portion of Kokinshu that deals with love poems, it is evident that in the mind of the poet love, dream, and reality intermingle and are part of one large reality.
In Kokinshu the various stages of love affairs are represented from the first moment a man and woman meet until they part.
The four seasons take a prominent part in the Kokinshu collection, which is divided into twenty parts, six dealing with the seasons and five with love.

Proper subjects had to meet the poets’ ideal of courtliness (miyabi) and demonstrate a sensitivity to the fragile beauties of nature and the emotions of others, an aesthetic known as mono no aware.
The Kokinshu (Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems, begun in 905) set the standard for all future court poetry.
Shin kokinshu, which ranks with Kokinshu as the finest of the court poetry anthologies, stresses achieving “depth” in verse through the application of aesthetic values such as yugen (mystery and depth).

The Kokinshu was compiled during the mid-Heian period.

Next, memorize all twenty songs from the Kokinshu by heart." The Emperor knew this, and on one of the days of abstinence, he took a copy of the Kokinshu, and put a screen between himself and her.
The Emperor opened the Kokinshu and asked her "On such-and-such a day, at such a time, what was so-and-so's song?".
He wanted to set her an exam, because he thought that she would be really embarrassed if she mis-remembered things or completely forgot them and it would be really funny.

In the preface to the early anthology of Japanese poetry Kokinshu (905) we learn that sometime after the first attempts at tanka by the gods people began to compose their own poetry when they were moved by blossoms, birds, the haze, or evaporating dew.
Such "flowers and birds" inspiration was received through kokoro, the heart or spirit, and expressed through kotoba, the poetic forms.
We are back to the "flowers and birds" of the "Kokinshu," but not as ancient poetic conceits but as lively, living entities.
