Honcho Reisou

This is a collection of Chinese poetry and prose by poets of imperial court bureaucracy from the Kanko era (1004-1012) in the mid-Heian period. It was compiled by Takashina Moriyoshi and consists of two volumes. However, the extant copy is missing the beginning and end of the first volume. It is believed to have been compiled around July 1010 to mourn the deaths of Prince Tomohira Shinno, Fujiwara no Korechika, and Oe no Mochitoki, who are among the poets with the highest number of works included, and to commemorate the glory of Chinese literature during Emperor Ichijo's Kanko era, as they all died one after the other between July 1009 and July of the following year. The number of poems extant is 150, with four prefaces, of which about two-thirds are poems for poetry parties, reflecting the frequency of poetry parties held by the Ichijo Emperor. Although typical expressions stand out, there are also many works that express delicate, elegant, and sentimental beauty, such as flowers, birds, the wind, and the moon.

平安中期、寛弘(かんこう)年間（1004～1012）の宮廷官僚詩人の漢詩文を集めた漢詩文集。撰者は高階積善(たかしなのもりよし)。上下2巻。ただし現存本は上巻の始めと終りを欠く。成立は、入集作品数上位の具平親王(ともひらしんのう)、藤原伊周(ふじわらのこれちか)、大江以言(おおえのもちとき)が1009年7月から翌年7月にかけて相次いで死去していることから、具平親王を中心とする3人の死を哀悼し、一条天皇の寛弘期漢文学の栄光を記念するという意図のもとに1010年7月の前後に編纂(へんさん)されたと考えられる。現存の詩数は150首、詩序は4編で、一条朝の詩宴の多さを反映して詩酒遊宴の作が全体の約3分の2を占める。類型的な表現が目立つが、繊細華麗で情趣的な花鳥風月を詠んだ作品も多い。
