Manyo-shu is the oldest (C.759) and most revered anthology of Japan’s poetic complications. Over a period of 4 centuries, 4516 poems were written by every class of person ranging from Emperors to merchants and farmers.
Manyo-shu is often regarded in Japan as a true expression of the Japanese sprit. The themes of the poems relate to love, celebrations, travelling, the passage of the four seasons, nature, etc. Flowers and plants are especially relevant in Japanese culture and 1500 of the poems in Manyo-shu features about 160 species of plants and 50 different flowers.
