Kinkai Wakashu - Kinkai Wakashu

This is the collection of writings by the third Shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, Minamoto no Sanetomo. It is also called the "Kamakura Right Minister Collection." The "kin" in "kinkai" is the "kama" radical of "Kamakura," and "kai" is an abbreviation of "kaimon" (the rank of minister), and it is said to refer to the collection of writings by Sanetomo, who was called the Kamakura Right Minister. The surviving copy is written by Fujiwara no Teika and has the date "December 18, 1213 (Kenryaku 3)" (the era name was actually changed to December 6th, Kenpo) at the end, and is thought to have been written by Sanetomo (age 22 at the time) in 1213. The other is a copy written by someone else, represented by a woodblock print from 1687 (Jokyo 4), which has a colophon at the end reading "Ryuei Akai" (a shogun and Dainagon who may refer to the Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa). The Kenryaku 3rd year edition contains 663 poems categorized into spring, summer, autumn, winter, celebrations, love, travel, and miscellaneous, and includes most of Sanetomo's masterpieces, such as "As I cross the Hakone road, I can see the sea of ​​Izu and the waves crashing on the small island offshore," "The waves crashing on the shores of the ocean may break, break, split and scatter," and "Even if the mountains split and the seas fade, I will have two hearts for you," which could be called the Manyo style or the royal style. The Ryuei Akai edition is a reorganized edition that adds 56 poems to the Kenryaku 3rd year edition and recategorized into spring, summer, autumn, winter, love, and miscellaneous, and includes "The arrows of the warriors are lined up on the trowels on which they are made, and the Nasu no Shinohara plain is covered with them." Sanetomo's poetry has been highly praised by such poets as Kamo no Mabuchi, Saito Mokichi, Kobayashi Hideo, Yoshimoto Takaaki, and Nakano Koji.

鎌倉幕府第3代将軍源実朝(さねとも)の家集。「鎌倉右大臣家集」ともいう。「金槐」の「金」は「鎌倉」の「鎌」の偏、「槐」は「槐門」（大臣の位）の略で、鎌倉右大臣とよばれた実朝の家集を意味するといわれる。伝本は、藤原定家筆で、末尾に「建暦(けんりゃく)三年（1213）十二月十八日」（実際は12月6日建保(けんぽう)と改元）と記し、1213年成立の実朝（当時22歳）自撰(じせん)とみられるものと、末尾に「柳営亜槐(りゅうえいあかい)」（将軍で大納言(だいなごん)を兼ねた人。室町将軍足利義政(あしかがよしまさ)をさすか）の奥書を有し、1687年（貞享4）の板本に代表される他撰本の2種が存在する。建暦三年本は、春・夏・秋・冬・賀・恋・旅・雑に分類した663首を収め、実朝の絶唱「箱根路をわれ越えくれば伊豆の海や沖の小島に波の寄る見ゆ」「大海の磯(いそ)もとどろに寄する波われて砕けて裂けて散るかも」「山は裂け海はあせなむ世なりとも君にふた心わがあらめやも」などの、万葉調とも王侯調ともいうべきおおらかで重厚味ある歌の大部分を含む。柳営亜槐本は、建暦三年本の歌に56首を増補し、春・夏・秋・冬・恋・雑に分類し直した再編本で、「もののふの矢並つくろふこての上にあられたばしる那須(なす)のしの原」などを収める。実朝の歌は、賀茂真淵(かもまぶち)、斎藤茂吉、小林秀雄、吉本隆明(たかあき)、中野孝次らから高く評価されている。
