GSS Volume 1

(1v) 後撰和歌集巻第一　春上

Gosenshu Volume 1: Spring 1

The GSS has three spring volumes, in contrast to the KSS' two, although only slightly more poems (146 to 134). The first book of spring poems begins with new years' poems, continues through the "Day of the Rat" festivities, and contains a large number of poems on plum blossoms. The book also contains poems on lingering snow, spring mist, and warblers.

The 標注 gives a poem between 26 and 27, ascribed to an unnamed variant text: 雪とのみ見えつるなへに梅花ありとやここにうぐひすのなく. This poem does not occur in any of the texts I consulted, nor can it be found in the 新編国歌大観. The last three lines are identical to KKS 32.
