Page from the "Lady Ise Collection" (Ise shu), early 12th century. The page was originally part of a set of personal poetry collections of thirty-six famous poets from ancient to Heian times. This version was referred to as Nishi-Honganji Edition of the Thirty-Six Poetic Immortals (Nishi-Honganji-bon Sanjurokunin kashu). The detached sections of this set are called the Ishiyama Fragments (Ishiyama-gire).
