A Comparative Study on Hujiwaranokintou and Bai Ju-Yi : With a Special Focus on Bai Ju-Yi's Poetry in Wakan-rouei-syu

The aim of this paper is to ascertain the likeness between Hujiwaranokintou and Bai Ju-Yi. Wakan-rouei-syu, an anthology of Japanese and Chinese poetry, is edited by Hujiwaranokintou in the middle periods of the Heian era. His anthology in the Heian era conveys a great influence not only upon the esthetics at that time but also upon the future generations of Japan's literature. Hujiwaranokintou selected most of all the poems of Bai Ju-Yi in his Waka-rousei-syu, because he had sympathy for the sense of uncertainty of life in the poems of Bai Ju-Yi
