Kaifūsō

The Kaifūsō (懐風藻, Fond Recollections of Poetry) is the oldest collection of Chinese poetry (kanshi) written by Japanese poets. It was created by an unknown compiler in 751. In the brief introductions of the poets, the unknown writer seems sympathic to Emperor Kōbun and his regents who were overthrown in 672 by Emperor Temmu after only eight months of the rule. Thus, it has been traditionally credited to Awami Mifune, a great grandson of Emperor Kōbun.
