On an overall scale, Japanese ancient cities do not come close to Chinese ancient cities which are designed for both royal families and commercial activities. The Japanese concept of the "capital city" is the seat for the royal palace. In the Uta poems of Manyo, "Miyako", which originated in Asuka, is recognized as the place where the Tenno, who came down from the heaven, rules the country. When this "Miyako", is moved to Fujiwara-Kyo, Asuka becomes "Kokyo"(the old capital city)and is used in poetry as the word to express pathos of separation and beauty of the ruins. In the period of Fujiwara-Kyo, a new theme called Shinkyo Sanka(Uta poems in praise of thenew capital city)appears. The traditional Waka poem is hardly the means of expressing the newness of the palaces ; to say nothing of the newness of the cities. As the capital city moves to Nara and Kyojin, Shinkyo Sanka and Koto Hika(elegy for the ruined city) become two contrasting forms. There comes to exist the idea of the everlasting capital city. It is in this stage that the transferred government officials' longing for Yamato, found in their Uta poems, change slowly to longing for "Miyako". The idea that "Miyako" is the center of the country comes to be established as one of the themes of Uta poems. However, it is not until the Kamakura era that rural people's longing for "Miyako" comes to be acknowledged.

During the formation of ancient cities, there has been a tendency to make the community a theme in the writing. This can be proven on several different levels. The viewpoint of making nature a theme in writing is illustrated through the topophilia of the gardens. This is shown in terms of the cosmology found in the garden plans of Heijo-Kyo. By analyzing Otomo no Yakamochi's Uta poems of nowers and birds, it is suggested that in his partiality for little cuckoos, the world of Chinese Bunjin Poetry in the Rikucho Era, that has once denied the difference between the two sexes called something like Platonism exists.

The word "Miyabi" implies a refined manner of behaving found in the court or in the city. However, the present theory on "Miyabi" puts too much emphasis on the anti-establishment aspect of the word, even though the purpose of emphasizing the image of Narihira is understood. Considering the stable and harmonious aspect of this word, through the illustration of the deeds of Korechika, Yukinari and Seishonagon, "Miyabi" as a technique to establish one's position in the city or the court is explained.

A city is defined as a place which continues to grow and assimilate the heterogeneous things that come to it from the outside. On the contrary the urban area described in Utsuho Monogatari is established by eliminating the heterogeneous found in it. This is how the nctitious city in a monogatari narrative should be described. Moreover, the monogatari, having the objective viewpoint to look at such a city, creates a realistic city. Here, the elements of Utsuho Monogatari as city literature are proven.

In Genji Monogatari, a mysterious rule is found about the locations where Hikaru Genji encounters the women. The locations for the encounters of Hikaru Genji with the women take place in relation to Genji's secret meetings with Fujitsubo and Oborozukiyo. They are always situated on the edge of the city of Heian-kyo including its suburbs. Rokujoin, the place of extreme of Genji's luxury,is also located away from the center of the city which is considered a place of ill luck. There Genji's family life falls into a catastrophe.

In Heian-Kyo, in spite of the prohibition of both temple foundation and Buddhist propagation, people's sympathy toward Buddhism gradually becomes stronger as the social contradiction becomes serious. Kuya, as the representative for the Buddhist movement, assigns himself preaching prisoners. Described in Honcho Hokke Genki, Shuncho, Shuncho succeeds Kuya as a prisoner chaplain. Shuncho carries on the prisoner preaching even more passionately than Kaya. He even commits crimes of theft and gambling for the purpose of joining the prisoners. His crimes, however, are to deny the absoluteness of the Buddhist lessons in addition to being against the laws of this world. By that time, the tendency towadrd Hokekyo religion has grown to such an extent.

In the shifting process of the expressive style from Manyo to Kokin, it is regarded important that the repetitive style changes to a more logical style of expression. Accordingly the rhythm also changes from "go-shichi-cho" (the alternating lines of five and seven syllables)to "shichi-go-cho" (those of seven and five syllables). The author of "Kakyo Hyoshiki" seems to be conscious of this change in Waka poem history. He develops a theory of metaphor based on "go-shichi-cho" which is a characteristic of Manyo. From the phonemic point of view, he gives a negative remark on "go-shichi-cho" which mainly takes the repetitive method. He appreciates "shichi-go-cho" which takes on logical expression. This proves that the author of "Kakyo Hyoshiki" analyzes and evaluates Uta poems as written literary works.
