This is a wiki created by J. Christopher Kern, Visiting Assistant Professor at Auburn University.


The purpose of the wiki is a collection of research notes and translations. Anyone is welcome to view or use them (with credit), although the content is non-peer reviewed and often in a draft state.
* [[General introduction]]


The following projects are currently located here:
Poetry collections:


1. An annotated translation of the [[Gosen wakashu]] (後撰和歌集), the second imperially sponsored collection of ''waka'', compiled in the late 10th century. The translations are poetic.
* [[Kokin wakashū]]
* [[Gosen wakashū]]
* [[Shūi wakashū]]


2. An annotated version of the [[Kokin wakashu]] (古今和歌集), the first Imperially sponsored collection. Unlike the Gosenshu translation, this one is oriented towards reading the original text, and contains copious annotation from pre-modern commentaries and other sources.
Appendices:


The long-term goal of this wiki is to have translations of the first three poetry collections (the 三代集) with indexes of author, vocabulary, and places.
