Tsukubashū
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tsukubashū (菟玖波集, "The Tsukuba Anthology", compiled c. 1356) was the first imperial anthology of renga.[1] The collection was compiled by Nijō Yoshimoto. Provincial lord Sasaki Takauji played an active role in its production with 81 of his poems appearing in the final version.[1] In addition to courtly renga, the anthology contains, in Book 19, the earliest known collection of haikai no renga.[2]
