Minase Sangin Hyakuin - Minase Sangin Hyakuin

A hundred-verse linked verse poem. It was written on January 22, 1488 (Chokyo 2). It is a trilogy of poems by Sogi, Shohaku, and Socho. The 22nd was the monthly memorial day for Emperor Gotoba, and it was dedicated to his mausoleum in Minase. There are various theories about the location of the poem, but the opening verse, "Even though it's snowing, the mountains are hazy in the evening" (Sogi), describes the view before his eyes from the mausoleum in Minase, so it is thought to have been around Yamazaki (Oyamazaki-cho, Kyoto Prefecture). Along with "Yunoyama Sangin," it is considered to be one of the most exemplary works, and Shokyu and Soyo's "Renga Tensui-sho" (Linked verse: Tensui-sho) explain the ingenious arrangement of the first eight verses.

連歌百韻。1488年（長享2）1月22日張行。宗祇(そうぎ)、肖柏(しょうはく)、宗長による三吟。22日は後鳥羽院(ごとばいん)の月忌で、後鳥羽院の水無瀬の廟(びょう)に奉納。張行場所には諸説あるが、発句に「雪ながら山もとかすむ夕かな」（宗祇）と水無瀬の廟からの眼前の眺望を詠んでおり、山崎（京都府大山崎町）あたりかと思われる。『湯山(ゆのやま)三吟』とともにもっとも規範的な作品とされ、昌休(しょうきゅう)、宗養の『連歌天水抄』には、その表八句の句さばきの巧妙さが解説されている。
