By whom and for what purpose was Iwanami Shinsho / 『 Hyakunin isshu 』 written by Nihon Essay and Zuihitsu? For a long time, Fujiwarano Teika had been regarded as the compiler, but the author's latest research revealed that it had been revised by posterity. By unraveling the background of its establishment and its characteristics as an anthology, and by considering the way of acceptance from the middle ages to the present, the mystery of the centripetal force, which seems to cover all the natural phenomena related to waka, is explored.
