私撰集 (Private collections)

Man'yōshū 万葉集 (II.1)

A large collection of Japanese poetry that reached its final form sometime in the 8th century. Most sources number these poems according to the original version of the Kokka taikan; the Shimpen kokka taikan includes Chinese poetry and prose in its count. 4516 poems in the old KT, 4440 in the SKT.

Kokin waka rokujō 古今和歌六帖 (II.4, WBT 45-46)

A large collection of poems divided into 517 categories. Roughly a quarter of the poems are from the Man'yoshu, and many others appear in the first three Imperial collections (especially the KKS and GSS). It was perhaps compiled in the latter half of the 10th century, but the compiler or compilers are unknown. 4494 poems.
