Wakan Roeishu (Collection of Japanese and Chinese Verses) with Design of Reeds 芦手絵和漢朗詠抄上巻アシデエワカンロウエイショウジョウカン
Description
This collection of Japanese and Chinese verses was named <i>Ashide-e wakan rôeishû shô</i>, since the verses were written on decorative paper with a design of reeds (J., <i>ashide</i>) for the base painting. The inscription at the end of the latter volume reveals that the collection was copied by Fujiwara Koreyuki (1149-1168) in 1160 (Eiryaku 1). The script consists mainly of <i>onnade</i> or <i>hiragana</i> (rounded Japanese phonetic syllabary) and some <i>sôgana</i> (cursive characters). Although the title reads <i>Ashide-e wakan rôeishû shô</i> (literally extracts from the collection of Japanese and Chinese verses), it is actually a complete edition of <i>Wakan rôeishû</i> (E., <i>Collection of Japanese and Chinese Verses</i>).
