Utakoi (2012)
Original title: 超訳百人一首 うた恋い。
Utakoi is a 2012 Japanese-language animation series. It stars Yuki Kaji, Junichi Suwabe and Saori Hayami.
The Hyakunin Isshu are an anthology of one hundred poems found in a trational Japanese card game called Karuta. Presented by the person who selected the writings, Fujiwara no Teika, this is a glimpse into the origin of some of them. Since the majority of them are love compositions, the focus remains on romance in ancient Japan.
