RE: Old Poets and School Reading ~ Haiku of Japan

in Blockchain Poets • 12 days ago

I read somewhere that Hikaru Genji must be based on Narihira.
He's a lady's man.
His Chihayaburu poem (Hyakunnin Isshu 17) reflects that as well... to some extent. XD

        Yeah, scholars often debate that point. Minamoto no Tōru is another name often thought to have inspired Genji, or he might have been a combination of both.

              I'm not familiar with him, but when I searched he is also a part of Hyakunnin Isshu (14).

              That must be the case... Only Murasaki Shikibu knows the truth, though.. hihi ✌️🩵
