An ancient collection of poems by various authors gathered together by the legendary editor/poet Chu. One of the Five Great Classics of Poetry by which all subsequent poetry is measured. When the Venerable and Ancient Scholar Kuangyin declared Air, Water, and Rain by the previously obscure Tokai Takanata to be "worthy of a place on a shelf alongside the Songs of Chu", it catapulted Takanata to poetry stardom overnight.
