Book twenty (20.4293-4516) of the Man'yoshu comprises 224 poems (218 tanka, six choka) with unspecified genres. It is important for both the history of the Japanese language, and the history of Japanese literature: it contains many poems written in Eastern Old Japanese and provides an interesting literary background to the political struggles that were taking place at this time at the Nara court.
