The chronicles of the Middle Ages, written in a plain style, had been used as a kind of teaching material through which manners and morality were taught. Following the educational function of those chronicles, many historical descriptions were also written in a plain catechetic style. The main point of them all was to teach the public the history of the royal family. As a result, those historical writings, almost the same in contents, had formed the grandest chronicle of Japan since the Kamiyo Era. In this essay, I will consider such an educational aspect of the popular historical writings.

Recently a lot of discussions have been made anew about that great folly committed fifty-two years ago, i.e., World War II. But, it seems to me, many of them are done without fully understanding the true role of history, which is to make one learn the past most emotionally and ethically in some narrative styles. Thus, in this essay, I will consider how to grasp the past follies through history as a text, while reading Konjaku-monogatari. I will focus on the historical meaning of narrative-making found in Konjaku-monogatari and its relation to the present. My major point is, however, to criticise, by reading the old text, the current sense of history, which seems to be blind to the narrative and rhetorical nature of history.

Fujiwara-no-Syunzei suggested that poetical works should be interpreted with both intuition and knowledge of poetical history. When he exemplified this method in his Korai-futei-sho, Syunzei gave priority to Kokin-shu because in his opinion this collection of old poems had the "essence of poetry." The reason Kokin-shu was so important to his poetical methodology may be shown in relation to his other works Kokin-mondo and Mimosusogawa-utaawase.

Dainana-so-Ryoyoseikyo of the Jodo-shinsyu cult, the well-known learned monk during the Middle Ages, concluded in his Kokin-jochu that Japanese language had a sacred sound called "bon-on" since it was the language of gods. Although his idea seems strange to us, it was then such a common notion as to be found in many other texts of the same age. In this essay, I will consider the process of myth-making based on this mythological and imaginary etymology of Japanese language.

The war chronicles of the Middle Ages have the narrative patterns which were politically overdetermined by the Emperor system. But the Jikoji version of Jokyuki innovated some new patterns as well as depicted the defeat of the Emperor system. By foregrounding subjectivities of the vernacular characters, it succeeds in vividly representing history.

There are two important episodes in the beginning part of the Enkei version of Heike-monogatari - "Tokuchojuin-kuyo-no-koto" and "Gonijokanpaku-dono-genkyu-no-koto." In this essay, I will compare each episode with the other (they were written almost at the same period but by two different authors) to prove the exactitude of Heike-monogatari's historical description about Buppo-oho Soi's view of the nation. Both of those episodes make it clear that the historical origin of the narrative lay in the political change, in this case, from the Emperor system to the samurai government.

The period after the Treason of 1910, commonly called the "Cold Age," resulted from the critical situations into which Japan fell just in the midst of its extraordinarily rapid economic growth and modernization. The tension between the old system and the newborn capitalistic one contributed to empowering radical nationalism based on the Emperor system, which pervaded and defined both the material and mental life of the public. Naoya Shiga's Seibei-to-Hyotan is the very text that criticises the political structure of the dark age in a narrative form.
