| Portrait of the author Murasaki Shikibu by the artist Tosa Mitsuoki |
The poets of the Hyakunin Isshu were Emperors and nobles, princes and princesses, concubines and consorts, monks and abbots. Many were notable poets of their time, including poets of the Rokkasen (6 immortals of poetry) and the Sanjūrokkasen (36 immortals of poetry). Some poets compiled other famous poetry anthologies such as the Kokin Wakashū, and the Gosen Wakashū. Some poets made other important contributions to Japanese literature, such as Murasaki Shikibu, who also wrote "The Tale of Genji", widely considered to be the world's first ever novel, or Sei Shōnagon, who authored "The Pillow Book".
For a full list of the poets in the order they appear in the anthology, check out the Wikipedia page on the Hyakunin Isshu.
I've listed all the poets in order by their names as listed on the poems. Often, this name will include their official title, or a pen name. The list is in alphabetical order according to the English alphabet, and the numbers listed refer to the number of their poem in the Hyakunin Isshu. By clicking their names, you can jump to my post about their poem which includes more background on the author. Below this list, you can read more about the "immortals of poetry", as well as the women whose poems are included in the anthology.
