About This Book

The Tales of Ise is a Japanese uta monogatari, or collection of waka poems and associated narratives, dating from the Heian period. The standard versions have 125 sections or episodes each combining poems and prose, with a total of 209 poems. The work has had decisive impact on later Japanese literature, and it is indeed considered as one of the three fundamental works of the Heian period β€” if not of all of pre-modern Japanese literary history.
