The paper analyzes several poems by the Princess Shikishi (11491200) from the viewpoint of Manyôshû appropriation. Despite relative scarcity of allusions to Manyôshû, some features in her appropriation style are found in the poetry of other contemporary poets, e.g. frequent appropriation of volumes XXI and well-known Manyôshû lines, utilization of secondary sources rather than Manyôshû manuscripts, etc. This demonstrates complexity of channels through which Manyôshû was appropriated. Simultaneously, there are features of her Manyôshû appropriation that distinguished her from other contemporary poets, which evidences that Princess Shikishi was not only a participant in but also a significant contributor to early medieval poetic discourse.
