Monthly Selection - Maigetssho

A book on waka poetry from the Kamakura period. Written by Fujiwara no Teika. The colophon reads, "July 2, 1219, a certain person sent a reply," which is recognized as indicating the time of its creation. The content of the text suggests that the "certain person" to whom it was sent was a high-ranking waka disciple of Teika, but it is unclear who he was (it is said to be Minister of the Interior, Ieyoshi Kinugasa). The main point is that it divides waka poetry into ten categories, with the "Ushintei" category established as the center, which is one of the ten categories but also applies to all ten categories. The "Ushintei" category describes the depth of contemplation in composing poetry, and how this is expressed. The ideal form of completion is described separately from the ten categories as the "Excellent Category." It also describes various things to keep in mind when composing poetry. There are some who doubt that it was written by Teika, but the theory that it is genuine is the most likely.

鎌倉時代の歌論書。藤原定家著。奥書に「承久(じょうきゅう)元年(1219)七月二日或人(あるひと)返報云々」とあり、成立時を示すと認められる。送った先の「或人」は本文内容から身分の高い定家の和歌の弟子と考えられるが、だれであるか不明(衣笠(きぬがさ)内大臣家良(いえよし)とする伝えがある)。中心は、和歌を十体(じってい)に分けて説き、その中心として「有心体(うしんてい)」をたてた点であるが、それは十体の一つであるとともに十体のすべてにもわたるとする。「有心」として説くのは作歌にあたっての観想の深さで、それが表現上に表れていることである。理想的な完成態は「秀逸体」として十体とは別に説かれる。ほかに作歌にあたっての諸心得も説く。定家作を疑う説もあるが、真作説が有力である。
