都賀庭鐘読本における『水滸伝』の受容

抄録

To what extent did Tsuga-Teishō incorporate Water Margin into his “yomihon” novels? No definite answer yet. In an attempt to answer this question, first I will sum up references to Water Margin in his reading journal Kamoku-shō in which he shows a considerable interest in it in terms of authorship, characters, lexicon, and editorial variants. Then I will point out his appropriation of the hundred-chapter and the hundred-and-twenty-chapter editions of Water Margin for the fifth and seventh chapters of Shigeshige-yawa, the ninth chapter of Hitsuji-gusa, the sixth and ninth episodes of Tsuzoku-iou-giba-den, and the fifteenth episode of Yoshitsune-banjaku-den. Finally I will pick up twenty instances of the author’s idiosyncratic usage derived from Water Margin. Indeed Tsuga made a glossary of the historical epic to reuse its words and phrases for his own writings. Thus the goal of this article is to demonstrate the essential integration of the Chinese classical text into Tsuga’s “yomihon” novels.
