In the history of medieval literature, the poetical style of the Insei Period has been usually described as an "innovative" attempt to search for something new. From a post-colonial viewpoint, however, as is typically seen in the poem "Ishibumi" of Shuchu-sho, that poetical experiment can be interpreted as a discursive practice of the national policy to assimilate Oshu. In this sense, the poetics of the Insei Period is basically the same as the conventional poetics after Shin-kokin-waka-shu. Whether experimental or conservative, or whether inside or outside the tradition, eventually both of them articulated themselves within the same system. So far as poetical language was thus culturally determined, the possibility of linguistic deviation from the system, which Saigyo partially succeeded in, was hopeless in medieval poetry.

In the third year of the Kenpo Period, an innovative collection of poems was made public. This is Dairi-meisho-hyakushu. Among the contributors probably there cannot be seen any more remarkable contrast in a poetical attitude than that between the Emperor Juntoku and Fujiwara-no-Teika. While the former vindicated the religio-political status quo in his traditional style, the latter experimented with a new method of language by his symbolical representation of Mutsu, a province of northern Japan, where the monk poet Saigyo had been wandering. Thus Teika's attempt was to revitalize the stylized and stagnant poetics of the age.

In Japan, precisely between 1234 and 1244, monks of the Hokke sect cooperated to compile the fragmented pieces of Chinese Buddhist scriptures written during the So Dynasty. On the other hand, in China, a monk named Doei was engaged in editing the Tozen-ji version of scriptures between 1242 and 1245. It is possible that Doei, who had once stayed in Japan and served at Tozen-ji, knew his Japanese colleagues' effort abroad and responded to it. It is in 1245 that the last report on contributions for the compilation of the Toji version was issued. In the same year, when the members of Seizan-Hokke Temple were engaged in the compilation work in Fukushu, China, Keisei of the same temple finished the first volume of Hyoto-ryukyukoku-ki. Thus it is very likely that Keisei's work on Ryukyu was related to the compilation of Buddhist scriptures and also had an influence on the Enkei version of Heike-monogatari.

The esoteric theory on the origin of Buddhism, generally known as "Dai-Nipponkoku-setu," located the birthplace of Dainichi-Nyorai, a great Buddhist god, in Japan and celebrated the country as the center of the religion. Of course, it was an unfounded dogma based on an inversion of the Buddhist assumption that the religion originated in India and later reached Japan. All pieces of evidence it had to prove its truthfulness were such symbolic props as old documents, the map of ancient Japan, and religious tools. The aim of this essay is to interpret those mysterious symbols and discuss the theory's contribution to medieval nationalism.

Needless to say, in any age and in any nation, war narratives are heavily charged with dominant ideologies and ruing politics. This is also true with Japan and Korea, and naturally there is a striking difference between Japanese and Korean war narratives. While comparing the representative narratives of both of the countries, Taihei-ki and Jinshin-roku, here I will historically consider the difference in viewpoint and description between them.

The last part of Taihei-ki which consists of "Koraijin-raicho-no-koto" and two other chapters is devoted to the historical description of the Mongolian attack. When the Mongolian tried to invade Japan in the late thirteenth century, it provoked a strong patriotism and helped much to form the ideology of the "divine nation." But in the historical discourse of Taihei-ki made about a hundred years after the incident, the nationalistic ideology was no longer upheld and even subtly subverted. The aim of this essay is to read the deconstructive effect of Taihei-ki which nullifies the very dichotomy of "inside (the divine nation)"/ "outside (the foreign enemy)" the ideology depends on.

In the Nara period, the auxiliaries "ga" and "no" were functionally different. While "ga" was used to refer to objects familiar to the speaker, "no" was used in reference to those unfamiliar to him or her. Much later in the Muromachi Period, this usage was essentially unchanged, but, as can be seen in Omoro-sausi, the frequency of "ga" became greater than that of "no". This means that the consciousness of community grew stronger in the Muromachi Period than in the Nara Period.
