This Hyakunin isshu is familiar to many people as a karuta (playing cards) of Japanese literature. It is also popular as a motif for works such as "Chihayafuru" and "Uta Koi". However, there are surprisingly few people who know who wrote and what about the 100 poems. In order to understand the content of the poems at a glance, this book explains the first and last poems in detail with illustrations. In addition, you can learn about the history of the period in which the poems were written at the same time. From the poems, we will read the flow of power that changed from the Ritsuryo period, when the emperor was the center of power, to the regency government, the cloistered government, and the samurai government, as well as the lifestyle of the people at that time. The fact that there are many love poems is also one of the characteristics of Hyakunin isshu. Various love poems, from first love to one mind to resentment, are sung, and you will be able to sympathize with the joy and worry that have not changed. This book is a must-read book for those who have a deep knowledge of the 100 poems including competitive karuta and want to learn them by heart, as well as those who have the world of waka, dynastic culture and ancient history.
