The Poetry of Oku no Hosomichi and Tosa nikki

The two most famous poets in Japan and the writer at the time, Tsuyuki Tree and Matsuo Basho are still important today for the same achievement. Both have written two famous travel journals, and their titles are the same as "travel journals", but they are quite different. In the Heian period around 936, Tsutsumi Yuki wrote "Tosa diary" and in 1689 in the Edo era Matsuo Basho, or Basho wrote "Oku no Otomichi". The Heian period seems more traditional, the Edo period is the beginning of Japan's modernization.

The origin of Kiko and travel literature in Japan has been over 1000 years. One of the earliest examples of Kiko is Endo Nikki, the most probable diary written in 935 in the Heian period of Japan, Tsurugi Tree. Another important example of Kiko is that it is very similar to Tosanikki Kiso Tsuruyuki as one of the reasons that it has been separated in composition for years. A narrow northern narrow road, this is a description of the Edo period in the late 17th century.

Diary literature is Japanese journal literature type including famous works such as Tosa diary, basketball, Murasakishiki diary. Personal and literary diaries appeared and prospered during the Heian period (Christian AD 794-1192) when the diary began to imitate logs preserved by Chinese government officials. Although scholars have found a diary dating back to the 8th century, most diaries are records of daily work. At that time, Japan regarded China as a model of culture and civilization, trying to reproduce the official diary of the Chinese government. Therefore, the early diary in Japan was de facto, written in kanji, and was influenced by the view of the official male.

His Tosa diary written in 935 records his travel from Tokushima to Kyoto from the viewpoint of so-called female colleagues. Tsuchiyuki abandoned the diary tradition written in Chinese, using Chinese, Waka, and a woman's narrator to convey the emotional aspects of the journey. He is known for his poem Waka and is considered one of 36 poems chosen by Fujiwara no Kaneko. It is also known as one of the editors of Kogane Waka Song. Tsuki wrote one of the preface of "Novel Wakashu" and the other is Chinese. His preface is the first important article about Waka. He wrote his history from the origin of his mythology to his contemporary Waka, and to some of the major poets, and some stiff criticisms of his predecessors like Ariwara Narihira While doing it classified it as a genre.
