I’ve been learning the poems in the Hyakunin Isshu, partly out of interest for karuta but I also love Japanese poetry. They’re the equivalent of reading in old english so there’s often old words and grammar that I don’t recognize, are there any good resources for looking up more in depth translations? I have full english translations but I want a break down of each part, kind of like in the Read Real Japanese books, if possible.

Might be easier to look for explanations in Japanese
Have you seen Chihayafuru? Love that show.
