EVOCATIVE OF JAPAN
The Man -Yo-Shu is the oldest existing collection of Japanese poetry,
compiled in the late 8th century during Nara-Heian Periods.
This particularly unique Japanese work
can introduce you to the essence
of beautiful nature in four seasons,
inherited traditions and customs in daily life,
and more things that are evocative of Japan.

Iwami Kagura
The clear blue sea, the sunset above the horizon, mountain landscapes that change color along with the
seasons, and the sight of fishermen’s boats gathering clams with a rake in a lake are some of the scenes
that moved ‘waka’ poets such as Hitomaro, Kadobe-no Okimi, Okura, and Yakamochi to create poems.
People appreciate their old traditions like Iwami Kagura, a sacred dance and music dedicated to deities,
and regional myths. They often visit shrines and temples when they reach milestones in their lives.
There are many time-honored Japanese-style inns, homestays, and hotels available with heartfelt hospitality.
You are very welcome to visit our Sanin Provinces and experience a distinct culture and atmosphere.

The Provinces of Iwami, Izumo, Houki, and Inaba are closely related to the collection of ‘waka’ poems called
Man-Yo-Shu, the oldest remaining collection of “waka” poems. It includes 4,500 poems, starting with a poem
written by Empress Nintoku in the 5th century and ending with a poem about a celebration of the New Year in
759 by Otomo-no Yakamochi, who is said to have compiled the collection.
The collection also contains sad poems by a soldier who was sent to Kyushu to guard the area, poems
describing the hard work by common people, and romantic poems, all of which are reflections of people’s
sincere perspectives and desires.
In those times, the provinces were also gateways to Japan from the eastern countries of Asia. They must have
been regarded as important areas by the former central government of Japan. For that reason, the government
officials sent there to govern the areas were carefully selected.
Some of them assigned for the job were poets noted for their fine pieces in the Man-Yo-Shu, such as Ōtomo-no
Yakamochi of the Province of Inaba, Yamanoue-no Okura of the Province of Houki, Kadobe-no Ōkimi of the
Province of Izumo, and Kakinomoto-no Hitomaro of the Province of Iwami. They wrote ‘waka’ poems about
their respective provinces and the people while they were in office, and these poems were finally included in
the Man-Yo-Shu.
Why not visit the places filled with the old spirit of Japan and feel the literary ambience of the Man-Yo-Shu?

Hitomaro was sent to take office. An
atmosphere reminiscent of the time he
spent still remains.
