The paper analyzes the discrepancies between the Man’yōshū’s images of the medieval and contemporary eras. As it turns out, the contemporary reception of this very first extant collection of Japanese poetry is quite different from the one from the medieval period. It seems that Man’yōshū was considered to be an imperial anthology preserved in many different manuscripts, none of which was canonized or preferred in any manner. There were many different interpretations in regard to the information about this anthology’s creation, e.g. date of compilation, number of poems, identity of the compiler(s) and of the emperor who allegedly commissioned it. Such an image has its origin in the existance of a poetic discourse, participation in which became one of the requirments for early medieval poets from various poetic schools to aqcuire patronage for their poetic activity. Above all, this paper demonstrates that Man’yōshū was a much more fluid, challenged and reconsidered text in the early medieval era than we may currently think.
