Principles of Integration

Principles of Integration

The Principles of Integration were a group of ‘rules’ employed in the compilation of poetic anthologies. Integration was made by progression and association.

They can be found mentioned within the Shin-Kokinshū, however we know that the Principles date to before this work as they are seen in the 21 poems of the Footprints of the Buddha.¹
