520 3 |a The Kokin wakashū of 905 is the first imperially commissioned anthology of waka, Japanese court poetry. Compiled by chief editor Ki no Tsurayuki and other prominent court poets at the behest of Emperor Daigo (r. 897-930), in its complete form it has 20 volumes, containing about 1,111 poems. It opens with sections dedicated to the four seasons, establishing a precedent for subsequent anthologies; love poetry follows, next in importance. While the identity of the calligrapher is unknown, and the attribution on the box to the famous Buddhist monk Jien (1155-1225) cannot be accepted, still it is an extremely early manuscript edition.
