Kaifuso ( 懐 風 藻 kaifu: co:, “lovely wind of poetry”, “favorite winds and sea grass [poetry]”) is the oldest collection of Japanese poems written by 64 poets [1] in Chinese ( kanci [2] ) . Compiled in 751 [3] . In a short presentation of poets, an unknown compiler sympathizes with Emperor Kobun , who was overthrown by Emperor Tammu in 672. Therefore, traditionally editing the collection is attributed to , the great-grandson of Emperor Kobun .
Kaifuso consists of 120 works written by 64 poets in a style that was popular in China in the 8th century. Most authors of the collection are high-ranking officials and noble nobles. Eighteen of them, including Prince Otsu , were also authors of poems in the Manyoshu collection. At the time of the writing of Kaifuso, Kansi's rhymed poems were valued higher than Japanese waka poems, as Chinese classical was considered the language of educated people. Most of the works of the collection were read at various public events.
Works in Kaifuso have a purely etiquette function and are very short: the longest contains only 18 lines [4] . Researchers note their secondary nature [2] , especially compared to the original Japanese verses in Manyoshu [5] . Like Chinese collections, Kaifuso does not contain love lyrics [6] .
