Central to this process was the creation of a tradition of vernacular poetry in which Yamato courtiers could participate and recognize themselves as the cultured officials of the new imperial realm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890782290071,"sku":"9789004251717","price":8306.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004251717.webp?v=1781181314","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/manyo-772-shu-772-and-the-imperial-imagination-in-early-japan-9789004251717","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
