Chapter 1 exhibits the Ogura Shikishi, a valuable work that conveys the original form of the Hyakunin Isshu, said to have been handwritten by Fujiwara no Teika, as well as calligraphy and paintings related to the Hyakunin Isshu. The second chapter focuses on the beautiful man and boy in love, Narihira Uzaihara, and presents a reading of "The Tale of Ise," which revolves around waka poems, along with paintings that evoke scenes from the story. Let's become more familiar with these two classics of literature.
