Fūyō Wakashū

Composition

The collection of poems was compiled in the year 1271. Although this is not completely certain, the author is believed to be Fujiwara no Tameie. According to the preface, the collection was commissioned by Emperor Go-Saga's consort, Ōmiya-in Kisshi.[1][2]

Contents

The text was originally twenty volumes in length. However, only the first eighteen are currently extant. It contains 1418 poems collected from 198 various tsukuri-monogatari. These are sorted into eleven categories, as detailed in the preface. Details of the author and context is given for each poem.[1][2]

The contents of the now missing 19th and 20th volumes are unknown. It contained one of the eleven categories.[1]

Value

Many of the cited texts are either completely or partially no longer extant. Along with Mumyōzōshi, Fūyō Wakashū is highly valued as a resource for research on lost literature.[1][2] Yoru no Nezame and Hamamatsu Chūnagon Monogatari are two examples of fragmentary texts in which it serves to supplement the missing parts.

gollark: I would probably struggle if I had to actually write a heavily-pointer-using C program, but I think I mostly understand the basics.
gollark: True, true. I do think a focus on some specific stuff like networking would also be helpful.
gollark: People are going to *use computers*, which is why I think we should have teaching on stuff like solving random problems instead.
gollark: *Reading manuals.*
gollark: I think it would be much more useful to actually teach basic computer use. How to solve basic problems (application of the search engine). What all the various cables are for. Basic computer maintenence.
