Opis

In 736, a Japanese diplomatic mission set out for Silla, on the Korean peninsula. The journey proved fruitful in one respect - its literary representation, a collection of 145 poems, made its way into the eighth-century poetic anthology 'Man'yoshu', becoming the longest poetic sequence in the collection.
