Gunsho Ruijū

Gunsho Ruijū (群書類従) is a collection of old Japanese books on Japanese literature and history assembled by Hanawa Hokiichi (塙保己一) with the support of the bakufu.

It has several sections separated in genres such as Shinto (the native Japanese religion) or waka poetry.

A second series of another 2103 texts was created by his son Hanawa Tadatomi (塙忠宝) from 1821 under the title Zoku Gunsho Ruijū (続群書類従).

Shin Gunsho Ruijū (ja:新群書類従) was printed in 1906–08 in 10 volumes.

Another text collection begun by Hanawa Tadatomi is the Dai Nihon Shiryō.
