Ruiju Utaawase - Ruiju Utaawase

This is a collection of poetry contests categorized by the status of the organizers. It is also called "Utaawase Ruiju." It was compiled twice, in the middle and late Heian period, and is called the "Jukanbon" and "Nijikanbon" according to the number of volumes compiled. The existing originals and transcriptions of these two collections allow us to confirm almost the entire picture of poetry contests up to the late Heian period. "Jukanbon Ruiju Utaawase" categorized and compiled 46 poetry contests from the "Minbukyono (Yukihira) Family Utaawase" at the end of the 9th century to the "Kisai no Miyano (Kanshi) Utaawase" in 1056 (Tenki 4) into 10 volumes. It is said to have been compiled during the reign of Emperor Goreizei (before 1068), and the editors are thought to have been Fujiwara no Yorimichi, Minamoto no Tsunenobu, and others. The "Twenty-Volume Ruiju Utaawase" began as the compilation of the 10 volumes of the "Wakaawasesho" based on the wishes of Emperor Horikawa in the early 12th century, which was supplemented with the "Kokin Utaawase", and was compiled and compiled into the 20 volumes of the "Ruiju Utaawase" around 1127 (Taiji 2). It compiled over 200 poems, from the aforementioned "Tambukyo Family Poetry Contest" to the "Regent Left Minister (Tadamichi) Family Poetry Contest" in 1126, into 20 volumes. Since the time of "Waka-Gosesho," the main editor of this work has been assumed to have been the Grand Minister of State, Minamoto no Masazane; Regent Fujiwara no Tadamichi was also closely involved, and it is said that Minamoto no Toshiyori and others were involved in the practical aspects of the work.

歌合を主催者の身分別に類別集成したもの。『歌合類聚』ともいわれる。平安中・後期に二度にわたって編集され、それぞれ集成された巻数に従い「十巻本」「廿巻(にじっかん)本」といわれている。この両集成の現存する原本および転写本により、平安後期までの歌合は、ほぼ全貌(ぜんぼう)が確かめられる。『十巻本類聚歌合』は、9世紀末の『民部卿(みんぶのきょうの)（行平(ゆきひら)）家(いえの)歌合』から1056年（天喜4）『皇后宮(きさいのみやの)（寛子）歌合』に至る46の歌合を10巻に類別編集する。編集は後冷泉(ごれいぜい)天皇の在世中（1068以前）といわれ、編集主体は関白藤原頼通(よりみち)、源経信(つねのぶ)らが関与したと思われる。『廿巻本類聚歌合』は、12世紀初め堀河(ほりかわ)天皇の意図に基づく『和歌合抄(わかあわせしょう)』10巻の編集に始まり、『古今歌合』に増補され、ほぼ1127年（大治2）に『類聚歌合』20巻として整備編集されたと推定できる。前記の『民部卿家歌合』から1126年『摂政(せっしょう)左大臣（忠通(ただみち)）家歌合』に至る200以上の歌合を20巻に編集した。この編集主体者は『和歌合抄』以来太政(だいじょう)大臣源雅実(まさざね)と推定され、摂政藤原忠通も関係深く、実務には源俊頼(としより)らが参加したといわれる。
