The Poetical Language of Yamato-monogatari : Its Unique Way of Expression in Part 24 and Part 60

Yamato-monogatari has a unique way of poetical expression which contributes much to its vivid representation of medieval life. Its unconventional wordage was completed through a series of transformational processes rhetorically exerted on the ordinary syntax of language. Far from being immature, as is often said, the poetical language of the story consists of a highly skilled combination of rhetoric and wordplay.

The author of Genji-monogatari has been praised for her use of light in the story, especially for its aesthetical effect on scenes that demonstrates her power of description. But light is not merely an aesthetic device, for in each scene it closely corresponds to the character's point of view. In this article, with the three scenes of "Otoko-tou-ka," a ritual held in the night, I will show that the use of light has an important role in story-making, for it must have greatly helped the author to turn images into words, elaborate expressions, and make the plot

Why Did Oi-gimi Have No Dream? : The Father-Daughter Relationship in the Uji-jujo Part of Genji-monogatari

Why did the late Hachi-no-miya appear not in his first daughter Oi-gimi's dream but in his second one Nakano-kimi's? As his will is exposed to various interpretations in the story, so this question invites the characters to make their own interpretations. After all the opinion prevails that Oi-gimi should have had the dream, and it develops into the theme of an estrangement between father and daughter in the Uji-jujo Part of Genji-monogatari.

How to Read a Story with No Ending : A Study of Kyoka Izumi's "Rindo-to-nadeshiko"

The aim of this article is to examine Kyoka Izumi's method of quotation in his unfinished story "Rindo-to-nadeshiko." Indeed, in writing the story the author quoted from various sources, ranging from "Gamou-gunki" and "Shaka-hassou-yamato-bunko," which, I have discovered, are adapted for the episodes, to his own work "Uta-andon." Like people and things in the story that come from nowhere and wander for no definite purpose, the quotations, inserted at random and out of nowhere, diffusely yet dynamically expand the narrative space.

A Study of Haruo Umezaki's "Bisei" : His Critique of Falsehood in the 2600th Anniversary of the Nation

In 1941 Haruo Umezaki published a story "Bisei" while working at the Metropolitan Bureau of Education. In the story he implicitly criticizes the government, which is allegorically transformed into a company. The workers of the company are kept in thralldom like animals in the zoo, and the executives called "humbugs" endlessly dispute how to plan the company's anniversary without reaching any conclusion. Needless to say, the workers are the public who were placed under the strict control of the government at wartime. The company's anniversary stands for the 2600th Anniversary of the Nation which was actually planned then. Through the executives' meaningless controversy over the anniversary, the author sarcastically exposes the falsehood of the national ceremony. Thus his genius for irony can be found in his earliest career.
