Price reduced! Thank you for looking. This is an Ogura Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets) with commentary by Seiko Tanabe. Illustrations by Yoshio Okada. Seiko Tanabe provides a very easy-to-understand commentary on the Hyakunin Isshu. Also, Yoshio Okada's illustrations are very beautiful, meticulously depicting the culture and costumes of the Heian period. This is also helpful for understanding the historical background of the NHK Taiga drama "Hikaru Kimi e" (To the Shining You). It explains the culture of the time in detail, so I think you can understand the Heian period very easily. Yoshio Okada's beautiful Heian period costumes are quite a sight to behold. These are two books you should definitely have to learn about the Heian period. I kept these for preservation after purchase, so they are relatively clean, but please understand that they were published in 1987 before purchasing. #SeikoTanabe #OguraHyakuninIsshu #YoshioOkada #HeianPeriod #HikaruKimie
