Ancient Japanese Poems as Pop Songs | Hyakunin Isshu #1–10 | Work & Study Mix | Hundred Hues

Ancient Japanese poems, reborn as pop songs. Hundred Hues - Echoes of KARUTA - Vol. 1 turns the first ten poems of Hyakunin Isshu into ten new songs. 30+ minutes of non-stop listening, and a good fit as background music for work and study. Hyakunin Isshu is a classic anthology of 100 waka poems by 100 poets, compiled in the 13th century. It is also the source of competitive karuta, a fast Japanese card game where players race to grab the card for the poem being read. This series doesn't translate the poems. Each song rebuilds the feeling of one poem (its tension, color and temperature) in a different genre. One hundred poems, one hundred colors. Music and artwork created with AI tools. #Popmusic #StudyMusic #JapanesePoetry
