Chakutô kaishi (or chakutô waka kaishi) are small pieces of paper (J., kaishi) on which poems are written during a poetry gathering that takes place over a predetermined number of days, with a fixed number of participants, and for which a set number of poetic topics have been determined for each day. It is most often the case that one hundred poems are composed during the course of one hundred days.
This work, wherein poems are written on the theme of "rain and shine in the fifth month," includes poems by Emperor Gokashiwabara (1464-1526, r. 1500-26) and Prince Tomohito (later Emperor Gonara, 1496-1557, r. 1526-1557).
The unsigned poem, "Mi mo narenu/ hikage wo hoeru/ unu mo are ya/ satsuki o kurasu/ ame no harema wa," was written by Emperor Gokashiwabara. The author of the poem that appears at the beginning, "Samitare no," referred to as "Kin'eda" is Sanjônishi Kin'eda, son of Sanjônishi Sanetaka (1455-1537).
