Each poem is introduced with information regarding the occasion for which it was composed (if that information was available) and in most cases an author is also listed.

This kind of detailed manipulation resulted in an anthology that did not necessarily contain all of the best works of the day. As

Although the poems are written on the same subject, with the newer one drawing directly from the older, Fujiwara no Teika’s interpretation both modernizes the poem and provides it with greater subtlety. It also accomplishes a connection between the
