Mountaineer Collection - Sankashu

A collection of poems by Saigyo. Three volumes. The number of poems varies depending on the lineage, but the Yomei Bunko edition has 1552 poems, while the Rokukashu edition has 1569. It is divided into four categories: Four Seasons, Love, and Miscellaneous, with the latter showing signs of several additions. At the end of the volume is a collection of one hundred poems. The year of its creation and whether it was selected by Saigyo himself or others are unknown, but it does not include any poems from his final years, and the descriptions in the notes are often detailed and seem to be autobiographical, suggesting that it may have been a compilation of poems written by Saigyo himself before he moved to Ise in his early 60s, with others adding to them. There are quite a few excellent poems, but there are also quite a few mediocre works. One of the Rokukashu. In addition to "Sankashu," Saigyo has several other family anthologies, including "Kikigakishu," "Kikigakizanshu," "Saigyo Hoshi Kashu" (also known as "Saigyo Shoninshu" or "Ihon Sankashu"), and "Sanka Shinchushu." Of these, "Kikigakishu" and "Kikigakizanshu" have almost no overlap with "Sankashu," but "Saigyo Hoshi Kashu" includes overlapping poems and also contains excellent poems not found in "Sankashu," so the relationship between the two is unclear. "Sanka Shinchushu" is considered to be a selection of excellent poems selected by Saigyo himself, and is closely related to "Saigyo Hoshi Kashu." Early modern and modern haiku poets, tanka poets, and poets have been familiar with "Sankashu," but to understand Saigyo's world, this book alone is insufficient; it is advisable to read all of these family anthologies.

西行(さいぎょう)の家集。3巻。歌数は系統によって異なるが、陽明文庫本は1552首、六家集板本は1569首。四季、恋、雑(ぞう)に部類されているが、雑の部には何次かの増補の跡がみられる。巻末には百首歌(ひゃくしゅうた)1編を付載する。成立年次、自撰(じせん)・他撰の別などは不明だが、最晩年の作を含んでおらず、詞書(ことばがき)の記述はしばしば詳細で自記を思わせることなどから、あるいは60代の初め伊勢(いせ)に移住する以前の詠を自らまとめたものに、他人の手が加わって成ったか。秀歌も少なくないが、平凡な作もかなり含まれている。六家集の一つ。西行には『山家集』のほかに『聞書集(ききがきしゅう)』『聞書残集』『西行法師家集』（「西行上人集」「異本山家集」とも）『山家心中集(しんちゅうしゅう)』など、数種の家集が存する。これらのうち、『聞書集』『聞書残集』は『山家集』とほとんど重複しないが、『西行法師家集』は重複歌を含みつつ、『山家集』にない秀歌をも収め、両者の関係は明らかではない。『山家心中集』は西行自撰の秀歌選とみられ、『西行法師家集』と密接な関係を有する。近世や近代の俳人、歌人、詩人が親しんできたのは『山家集』であるが、西行の世界を知るためには本書のみでは不十分で、これら家集類のすべてを読むことが望ましい。
