Nishi Honganji Sanju-rokunin Kashu

Nishi-Honganji-bon Sanju-rokunin-kashu (Nishi-Honganji Collection of Thirty-six Anthologies)[1] is a set of illuminated manuscript codex from the early 12th century containing a collection of waka poems by thirty-six master poets (Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry), selected by Fujiwara no Kintō. It is the oldest manuscript that contains the collection of the 36 poets and is designated as a National Treasure, and is believed to be the oldest known example of paper marbling. Nishi Honganji temple in Kyoto, Japan stores it.

Minamoto no Shigeyuki volume

The set contains thirty-nine volumes of which thirty-two are original 1109-1112 works. One (collected poems of Fujiwara no Kanesuke) was altered to another late Heian period manuscript. Four volumes are from the mid-17th century (Edo period). Two volumes are replicas by Tanaka Shinbi (1875–1975) produced c. 1920s. The original two volumes were separated and sold to collectors as single leaves in 1929. The manuscripts are Detchōsō bound (glued books) 20 cm x 16 cm and the paper ornamented with silver, gold, colour, and ink.
