From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ni-jū-hachi Hon Narabi ni Ku Hon Shiika (二十八品并九品詩歌) is a Japanese anthology of both kanshi (poetry in Classical Chinese) and waka (poetry in Classical Japanese) on Buddhist themes. The collection was likely compiled by Fujiwara no Tameie in 1253, to mark the twelfth anniversary of the death of his father Fujiwara no Teika. The kanshi were composed by twelve poets, and the waka by thirteen, more than half being members of the Fujiwara clan, including Tameie himself and his son Tameuji. The text survives in three manuscripts.
