Minishuu - Collection 2

This is a collection of poems by Fujiwara Ietaka. The title comes from the fact that Ietaka was called Mibu Nihon. It is also known as the Mibu Nihonshu, Gyokuginshu, and Ietaka Kyoshu. The extant editions are divided into three series, each with a different number of poems, but the Hiromoto series, which has the most poems, is three volumes and contains 3,201 poems. The first and second volumes are composed of fixed numbers of poems such as 100 poems and 50 poems, as well as shoji poems and byobu poems, and the third volume is composed of poems from poetry gatherings and poetry contests categorized into four seasons, love, and miscellaneous. It can be said that this collection covers almost all of the representative works of Ietaka, a poet said to be a prolific writer. This is an additional collection of poems that was created by adding other materials to the original edition compiled by Kujo Motoie in 1245 (Kangen 3). It is one of the Rokukashu.

藤原家隆(いえたか)の家集。書名は家隆が壬生二品(みぶにほん)と称されたことによる。別称『壬生二品集』『玉吟集』『家隆卿(きょう)集』。伝本は三系統に分かれ、それぞれ歌数が異なるが、もっとも歌数の多い広本系は三巻、3201首を収める。上・中巻は百首歌・五十首歌などの定数歌や障子歌、屏風(びょうぶ)歌、下巻は四季・恋・雑(ぞう)に部類した歌会や歌合(うたあわせ)の詠からなる。多作家と伝えられる歌人家隆の代表的な作品群はほぼ網羅されているといってよい。1245年（寛元3）九条基家(もといえ)が編んだ初撰(しょせん)本にさらに別の資料を加えてなった他撰家集である。六家集の一つ。
