Quotation from the Man’yōshū text is based on the Man’yōshū (CD-ROM version) edited by Masatoshi Kinoshita (Hanawa Shōbō, 2001); part of the Japanese readings (kun-reading) of the prefaces and kanji used in the Japanese readings of the poems have been revised internally.
Prefaces and notes applying to an entire group of poems, even if not immediately placed before or after a given poem, are sometimes provided in parentheses.
The transliteration, modern translation, and original text, etc., of the Man’yōshū used in the articles of this website may differ from the sign descriptions near poetry monuments and from the map of “Pilgrimage of Man’yoshū Poetry Monuments – 24 Monuments in Fushiki Area-”.
