Revered as one of the great literary classics of Japan,The Tales of Ise is an anonymous tenth-century collection of Japanese poems and prose. First published in 1608 as Ise-monogatori , the work is a product of court life in which the romantic assignations, intrigues, and social standards of aristocratic society in ancient Japan are vividly revealed.
Each of the 125 episodes in the book consists of a story plus poetry in the uta form(five lines totaling thirty-one syllables) following the life of a nameless hero, who embodies the social ideals of the era, from his "coming of age" to his death.
