Edition: The first printed edition of this work. Earlier of two movable type editions, undated but printed in Keichō or Genna period. An endnote on the last folio, printed integrally with the text, states that this edition was typeset on the basis of the Ninnaji-no-miya 仁和寺宮本 manuscript copied in Ōei 19 応永十九年 (1412) from Fujiwara no Sadaie's original autograph. It lacks the mana 真名 preface, but contains the kana-majiri preface of the original. A second movable type edition, also undated, was printed in Genna or Kan'ei period, using a different type font of smaller size.
Contents: After the Kokinshū 古今集, this is the greatest of all the 21 imperial anthologies of waka poetry, commissioned by the retired emperor Go-Toba in 1201 and officially completed in 1205 by Fujiwara no Sadaie and a group of high-ranking courtiers. Comprises 1981 poems in 20 kan.
