The One Hundred Poems - Japanese woodblock books. Hyakunin Isshu, literally "One hundred people, one poem each", a Japanese style of building an anthology of Yamato uta, or poems in a particular style which has become an integral part of Japanese culture since the mid-13th century.
The poems were most often written by nobles and high functionaries at the Imperial Courts. They are very short, very polite, very Japanese and that means expressing things indirectly and using words which, when spoken, have many different meanings. Misunderstandings were deliberate, honest fun. Emperors, pricesses, ministers, noblemen all had to prove that they had poetic hearts. All knew the "Jargon" and how to pick words from the "lyric box of the 500 most emotional keywords". The poems are about love, forbidden affairs, youth and old age, spring, autumn and death. The Fujiwara family has always been very important in the history of Japan.
