There are many tales about divine marriage in Kiki and Fudoki. They are usually narrated by possessed mediums who were supposed to be gods' wives in ancient society. There are two types of possession which can be classified as "regular" and "irregular." The tone of each tale thus depends on whether the medium is in "regular" or "irregular" possession. In the latter, the medium usually experiences an extremely awe-inspiring moment. Perhaps the tales of hybridization between gods and human beings, which reflect ancient people's fear of divine power, come from such "irregular" supernatural experiences.

In Rikkokushi, shamanistic episodes are described as if they were historical facts. What did historical knowledge mean to the ancient scholars? This essay will treat the method of old historical description which was based on omens. In the ancient times, they had quite a diffrent notion of history than we do now. For then there was no differentiation between sharmanistic and academic knowledges. Predicting future events by reading omens was thus very scientific.

Sacred songs called kamiuta have been defined as a stylized and popularized version of oracles which had been originally uttered by the possessed at rituals in a primitive community. So the origin of kamiuta has been almost always traced to "oracles by the possessed" and its words comprehended as a remnant of ancient divine messages. Of course, such historical research is worthwhile in order to understand the old songs, but what is more important is to actually see and hear kamiuta itself in performance. Thus it seems necessary to reconsider the relation between kamiuta and possessed oracles from a performative perspective.

Sei-Syonagon started writing Makura-no-soshi, pressed by her superior Chugu-Teishi and at the same time urged by her own passion for self-expression. This double motive for writing is strongly related to her willingness to play a "naishi" (lady-in-waiting) at Chugu-Teishi's court. Sei-Syonagon found an ideal type of a woman in a "naishi" lady and played the role herself to wait on Chugu-Teishi, now recording her lord's words and then describing life at the court. Thus engaged in role-playing, she developed her own form of writing. Here I would like to read Makura-no-soshi as a "Naishi" narrative.

The aim of this essay is to discuss the relation between apparition and rumors over it, and extensively between language and shamanism. Although many cases of the super-natural have been reported, the real appearance of a ghost is quite rare. In the same way, there are lots of ghost tales in classic literature and folklore, but few of them are based on facts. Therefore, in reading such texts, it is important to examine not how apparitions appeared but how they are narrated and represented. Here I will read the strange case of a ghost in the Aoi part of Genji-monogatari and follow the process in which rumors over it cause a ghost effect of discourses. I will also make clear how the tale is related to Yoru-no-nezame.

Here I will consider the meaning of a ghost of Uji-Hachi-no-Miya who appears in the dreams of Naka-no-Kimi and Ajari in the Agemaki part of Genji-monogatari. Ajari tells his dream of the ghost to the Tycoon, who in his turn (mis-)represents it to others. In this way information is proliferating, and one narrative produces and reproduces other narratives. I will also link the tale of a monk's ghost in the Tenarai part as another piece of information to this dream tale.
