The Poetic Theories of Kinots Gauki

The first two poems of book one are on the topic beginning of spring. You can see both poems are riffing off emotions associated with the beginning of spring, while also using good kotoba linguistic images or references that helped ground the poem. So that's my highly inexpert attempt to introduce the poetic theories of kinots gauki. Were on the subject of the kokinchu, i do feel like i should share at least a few of his other poems in here before we move on to the subject of his other famous written work.
