Okikaze-shū
The Okikaze-shū (興風集), is a Japanese anthology of waka poetry. It is the personal anthology (kashū) of Fujiwara no Okikaze. It is one of the Sanjūroku-nin Shū (三十六人集).
It was put together by an unknown compiler sometime after the mid-tenth century and survives in three variant textual traditions. It incorporates poems taken from the first two imperial anthologies, as well as a number of poems from an unknown source. Later imperial anthologies attributed poems to Okikaze based on their inclusion in this collection.
Compiler and date
The Okikaze-shū is a personal collection (kashū) of the waka of the 10th-century poet Fujiwara no Okikaze.[1] It was not personally compiled by Okikaze, but by a later, unknown compiler,[1] in the mid- or late-Heian period.[1]
Textual tradition
The Okikaze-shū has three distinct textual lines, but scholars consider them to have originated from a single Urtext.[1]
Line 1 is the rufubon (common) text, which was printed as part of the Kasen Kashū during the Shōhō era (the Shōhō-ban Kasen Kashū, 正保版歌仙歌集) and includes 52 poems.[1] The last of these poems, however, is an interpolation (他本歌 tahon-ka) from the Gosenshū.[1] Line 2 is represented by a manuscript traditionally attributed to Bōmon-no-tsubone, and includes 53 poems.[1] Line 3 is represented by the edition included in the Nishihonganji-bon Sanjūroku-nin Shū (the Nishi Hongan-ji text), and includes 57 poems.[1] Lines 1 and 2 more closely resemble each other than either resembles Line 3.[1]
There is also a surviving fragmentary text, the so-called Fujiwara no Okikaze Shū (藤原興風集).[1]
Contents
All three textual lines of the Okikaze-shū are composed of two sections,[1] the first of which consists of poems borrowed from the Kokinshū and the Gosenshū,[1] the latter sections being poems collected by an unknown compiler.[1] The poems that were attributed to Okikaze by the Shinkokinshū and later imperial anthologies were all taken from this latter section.[1]

Facsimile editions include the Fukkoku Nihon Koten Bungakukan, the Gosho-bon Sanjūrokunin-shū, the Sanjūrokunin Kashū and the Nishihonganji-bon Sanjūrokunin Kashū.[1]
