Description:
Many people remember the poems from the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, but surprisingly few know who composed them or what they actually mean. This book uses illustrations to explain both the upper and lower verses of each poem so you can understand the content at a glance. Through these poems, you'll also gain insight into how political power shifted from the emperor-centered ritsuryo system through the regency government, retired emperor rule, and finally to samurai governance. Additionally, you'll discover how ordinary people lived during this era by reading between the lines of the poetry.
