The "Hyakunin Isshu" is an anthology of waka poems. Another name for the collection is Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, because it was compiled by Fujiwara no Teika (or Sadaie, 1162 – 1241) while he lived in the Ogura district of Kyoto, Japan.

The name translates as "one hundred people, one poem," and describes the collection faithfully.

Centuries after Teika, the game of Uta-garuta arose. Due to the popularity of this game, generations of Japanese people have learned the poems of the Hyakunin Isshu.
