In Utsuho-monogatari, Nakatada's sister enters the Imperial Court and there she is named Nashitsubo after the palace where she lives. The story of the court lady in Nashitsubo Palace, however, may be historically inaccurate, for in any other stories of the same period she is not even mentioned. If the lady is a pure creation from the unknown author's imagination, then what is his or her intention? Referring to the historical meaning of Nashitsubo Palace, here I will look into the mystery of the lady called Nashitsubo.

It is often said that, in spite of her important role in Genji-monogatari, Onna-San-no-Miya seldom speaks her mind. But she is far from a silent figure; in fact there are not a few scenes in which one can hear her voice. Then why is she regarded as a character that never gives out her inner thoughts as Hikaru-Genji and Murasaki-no-Ue do? The answer seems to lie not in her words themselves but in our own idea of "inner thoughts." For example, her way of speaking, usually short and fragmentary because of her peculiar sense of time, sound to our modern ears very dispassionate and superficial, quite void of inner feelings.

In Tosei-shosei-katagi, Shoyo Tsubouchi treats bonds of affection between men as something unnatural to be eventually sublimated into a heterosexual desire and in most cases to be replaced with a husband-wife relationship. For heterosexuality, which Tsubouchi calls "natural feeling" in Shosetsu-shinzui, is inherent and essential, one of our primitive instincts. But in Tosei-shosei-katagi he traces the unstable and overdetermined process in which homosocial desire is forcibly transformed into heterosexual one. Thus paradoxically the author himself demonstrates that "natural feeling" is neither inherent nor given but socially constructed.

Osamu Dazai is a writer with a peculiar way of storytelling. Probably it is in "Douke-no-hana" (1935) that he completed his own style. In the short story, Dazai made experiments with a new method in order to challenge the conventional form of literature. By transgressing the narrative frame, he managed to make the character a reading subject outside the story, a represented reader through whose eyes the real reader sees a narrative world. In this sense, "Douke-no-hana" is an important turning point in his career as a writer.
