"Manyosyu" - Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves - is the oldestic 759) and most revered anthology of Japan's poetic compilations. Over a period of four centuries 4,516 poems were written by every class of person ranging from Emperors to merchants and farmers. "Manyo" is an abbreviation of "Manyosyu" and its meaning indicates people of all ranks.

"Manyosyu" is often regarded in Japan as a true expression of the Japanese spint. The themes of the poems relate to love, elagies, celebrations, family matters, traveling, the passage of the four seasons, nature, and so on. Flowers are especially relevantin Japanese culture and about 1,500 the poems in "Manyosyu" cover some 160 species of plants and 50 different flowers.
