Furthermore, in November of that year, after the great poetry event, six poets, FUJIWARA no Sadaie (Teika), FUJIWARA no Ariie, MINAMOTO no Michitomo, FUJIWARA no Ietaka, FUJIWARA no Masatsune, and Jakuren were tasked with organizing an anthology (collection) of poems by imperial command; this was the start of making "Shin-Kokin Wakashu (New Collection of Ancient and Modem Times)" for the Imperial Court.
さらにこのような大規模な企画を経て、同年十一月にはついに藤原定家、藤原有家、源通具、藤原家隆、藤原雅経、寂蓮の六人に勅撰集の命を下し、『新古今和歌集』撰進がはじまった。
