In what historical contexts were the variants of Hougen-monogatari produced? To answer the question, first as a preliminary step, I will survey the history of studies on the story which consists of the discourses on the unknown author, annotations on the sourcebooks, and so on. Then I will analyze differences in the representations of Minamoto-no-Tametomo and Sutoku-In between the "Nakarai" and the "Joto" editions. In the "Nakarai" edition Sutoku-In is represented as a vengeful ghost, but later in the "Koto" edition the defeated enemy's tragic fate is mournfully told. I will also demonstrate that the latter edition was probably compiled under the influence of the theory that the Ashikaga family was descended from Tametomo.

Emperor Chokei's Literary Background(<Special Issue>The Backgrounds of the Production of Medieval Literature)

Emperor Chokei, the third emperor of the Southern Dynasty, is the author of some excellent poems in Shinyo-waka-shu and in Sengen-sho, the book of annotations on Genji-monogatari. In spite of his literary attainments, however, the emperor had rather poor access to literature in his childhood, for he was not allowed to read anything but major works such as Sandai-shu and Genji-monogatari. Although his father Emperor Go-Murakami or Nijo-Tametada probably taught him how to appreciate literature, the emperor-poet must have formed his own literary style by learning as much from the limited number of texts as he could.

The Burning of Nihon-gi : A Review of the Theory of the Japanese's Descent from Go-Taihaku(<Special Issue>The Backgrounds of the Production of Medieval Literature)

Nihon-gi, a chronicle edited by Chugan-Engetsu in the early Period of Northern and Southern Dynasties, doesn't exist today because all the copies were allegedly burnt in the early modern times for the theory of the Japanese's descent from Go-Taihaku included in it. In the medieval times, however, it was regarded as the most legitimate history of the creation of the country, and even the theory was re-evaluated as an important discourse to endorse the "go-on" readings of Chinese characters. If the chronicle had not been lost, it must have been a first-rate material for studies on the academic background of the medieval times.

Taima-mandara and the Legend of Chujo-hime : The Role of Narrative Picture Scrolls in Popular Culture(<Special Issue>The Backgrounds of the Production of Medieval Literature)

The legend of Chujo-hime is a story of faith and miracle which had been circulated and handed down not only among religious activists but also widely among the public. This article examines the relation between the legend and the narrative picture scrolls, for the works of visual art served as a very important medium in popular culture. Here the figures of "Taima-mandara-engi" in Taima-mandara, a narrative picture scroll supposedly of the early Muromachi Period, will be focused on for that purpose.

In this article I will trace the change of style in the landscapes represented in the picture scrolls by the Tosa School artists of the Muromachi Period. In the early fifteenth century Tosa-Yukihiro mixed the conventional images of scenes into a landscape without sketching any actual place. But in the late fifteenth century, unlike his predecessor, Tosa-Mitsunobu sketched places before working on his scrolls. In the mid-sixteenth century Tosa-Mitsumochi adopted a more modern method; he placed himself in the middle of landscape so that he could represent it in a more effective perspective.

A series of illustrated books called "Nara-ehon" or "Nara-emaki" appeared between the late Muromachi Period and the mid-Edo Period. The historical background of the genre has come to be to a large degree uncovered, but there still remain some ambiguities in it that must be addressed. For example, the way it was related to medieval literature in general is almost unknown. The aim of this article is thus to shed light on the historical as well as literary role of the genre.
