Kohitsu, in a narrow sense, refers to a collection of poems written by aristocrats in the Heian and Kamakura periods. In this exhibition, an array of kohitsu masterpieces will be on display, ranging from works passed down in the Owari Tokugawa family, such as the Shigeyukishu poem collection and a fragment of the Meikakashu-gire collection, to donated fragments of Ishiyama-gire and the Sekido version of Kokin Wakashu-gire.
