Shin'yŠWakashū
The Waka Collection of New Leaves (新葉和æŒé›† Shin'yÅ WakashÅ«) is a Nanboku-chÅ period collection of Japanese poetry compiled by Munenaga ShinnÅ ca. 1381. Although commissioned by Emperor ChÅkei (r. 1368-83) of the Southern Court, it is not included in the NijÅ«ichidaishÅ«, i.e., the twenty-one imperial anthologies for political reasons – the "official" anthologies had been sponsored by the rival Northern Court and the Ashikaga shoguns.
The Shin'yŠWakashū consists of twenty books, 1,420 poems in total. The poems included are mainly from the NijŠpoetic school, but there is also a substantial amount of warrior-class poems.[1]
