New Selection of Rōeishu - Shinsenrōeishu

A collection of songs from the late Heian period. Two volumes. Compiled by Fujiwara no Mototoshi. It was probably completed sometime between 1122 (Hōan 3) and 1133 (Chōshō 2). Based primarily on anthologies of Chinese poetry and prose such as "Senzaikaku" and "Honchō Monzui," and imperial anthologies such as "Shūi Wakashu" and "Goshūi Wakashu," it contains 543 beautiful phrases in poetry and prose suitable for recitation, and 203 waka poems, for a total of 746 poems. As it is also called "Shinsen Wakan Roeishu," it is a sequel to Fujiwara no Kinto's "Wakan Roeishu," and follows the original in terms of format, subdivision, and volume, lacking originality and not having much influence on later generations, but in contrast to the decrease in the number of collected verses by Chinese poets, the number of verses by Japanese poets has increased significantly, and the included poems tend to value the gentle and elegant style of Ichijo Asakaze, reflecting the tastes of the time. It is thought to have been established as part of the poetry ruiju movement led by Fujiwara no Tadamichi, as represented by "Twenty Volumes of Ruiju Utaawase."

平安後期の歌謡集。2巻。藤原基俊(もととし)撰。1122年（保安3）以後、33年（長承2）までに成立か。『千載佳句(せんざいかく)』『本朝文粋(もんずい)』などの漢詩文集や『拾遺(しゅうい)和歌集』『後拾遺和歌集』などの勅撰集を主要な依拠資料として、朗詠にかなった詩文の佳句543句と和歌203首計746首を収める。『新撰和漢朗詠集』と異称されるように、藤原公任(きんとう)の『和漢朗詠集』の続編的性格をもち、形態、細分類、分量ともほぼこれを踏襲し、新味に欠け後世への影響も大きくはないが、中国詩人の入集(にっしゅう)句の減少に反し、日本詩人の句が著しく増加し、収載詩歌の傾向も一条(いちじょう)朝風の温雅な作風が重んじられ、当代の好尚を反映している。『二十巻本類聚歌合(るいじゅううたあわせ)』に代表される藤原忠通(ただみち)による詩歌の類聚運動の一環として成立したとみられる。
