Around 1235, Japanese poet and scholar Fujiwara no Teika compiled for his son's father-in-law a collection of one hundred poems by one hundred poets. Within its chronological summary of six centuries of Japanese literature, Teika arranged a poetic conversation that ebbs and flows through a variety of subjects and styles. The collection became the exemplar of the genre-a mini-manual of classical poetry, taught in the standard school curriculum and used in a memory card game still played during New Years. "One Hundred People, One Poem Each" contains the best that classical Japanese poetry has to offer-here presented in a new verse translation. Revised edition.

The Hyakunin Isshu is a poetry anthology beloved by generations of Japanese since it was compiled in the 13th century. Many Japanese know the poems by heart as a result of playing the popular card game version of the anthology. Collecting one poem each from one hundred poets living from the 7th century to the 13th century, the book covers a wide array of themes and personal styles. One Hundred Leaves is a new translation, complete with extensive notes, the original Japanese in calligraphic font, the pronunciation, and side-by-side art work beautifully illustrating each poem's theme.
