In the mid-Heian Period, some children of aristocrats went to court to work for the emperor. In Utsuho-monogatari, there are three court children named Tadakoso, Masayori, and Hanazono, who dance, go on errands, and do other things for the emperor. Tadakoso is so much patronized that he is forced to stay at the court for several months. No matter how bright, handsome, and good at music and dancing one was, if not a child of a noble family, one was not allowed to perform the special duty. In this article, I will describe the profile of such privileged children who were trained to master social skills from manners even to a way of love affairs while working at the court.

Children in Utsuho-monogatari and Genji-monogatari(<Special Issue>"Children" in Literature and Education)

The author of Genji-monogatari created a most impressive image of a child in the figure of Murasaki-no-Ue, but a great variety of children characters can be found in the earlier work Utsuho-monogatari. Indeed, as filial piety is the theme of the story, there appear Nakatada as a five-year-old son who devotedly supports his mother, young Inumiya who faithfully masters her family's secret of playing the koto harp, and other dutiful children. The way of representing children in Utsuho-monogatari was very influential, but Murasaki-Shikibu so successfully modified it in Genji-monogatari that she could make a new image of children.

Recently many picture books have been published, and they are used largely for the purpose of orally teaching the Japanese language to young children. Certainly behind the present popularity of picture books for children there are numerous efforts that have been made for children's literature by scholars, writers, publishers, and librarians since the end of the war. But further efforts seem to be necessary to know how to convey a sense of our time to children in reading books to them. How can we do it? To give an answer to the question, here I will review "ezoshi" picture books of the Edo Period, the earliest form of picture books for children.

The word "douga" (a picture for children) was first used in the title of the exhibition of Takeo Takei's works in 1925. Then Takei tried to establish it as a genre of art which was essentially different from illustrations in children's books. The aim of this article is to describe the characteristics of "douga" pictures with several examples from the illustrated magazines of the 1920s, To show the unique style of "douga" pictures, the pictures of the Great Kanto Earthquake by Tomoyoshi Murayama, one of the most famous "douga" artists, will be compared with the illustrations of the same subject in the magazine Akai-tori. Finally I will outline the present condition and prospect of the genre.

When Children Read "Chumon-no-oi-ryoriten" : What Makes Children Imaginative Readers(<Special Issue>"Children" in Literature and Education)

When children read Kenji Miyazawa's short story "Chumon-no-oi-ryoriten," most of them identify themselves with the two gentlemen while following the plot. They even sympathize with the gentlemen when they are in danger of being eaten by the wild cat. Some children-readers, however, regard the predicament as a just punishment because they think the gentlemen are very cruel persons who feel no pangs of conscience in killing animals. In their viewpoint the wild cat's deed can be justified. In such an unexpected way children-readers often decode the text. In this case they get a sort of ecological message from the story; we should realize that no creatures must be meaninglessly killed because their lives are all precious.

The Fate of "Hirosuke's Nursery Tales" : A Historical Study on the Relations between Children's Literature and Children-Readers(<Special Issue>"Children" in Literature and Education)

Hirosuke Hamada was once regarded not only as one of the most famous writers of children's books but also as the founder of the Japanese version of "nursery tales." His nursery tales are all rhythmical and composed to be read aloud. But since the 1960s most writers of a new generation in children's literature have concentrated so exclusively on the refinement and stylization of writing that the oral aspect of children's books is now almost forgotten. In such a writing-oriented literary trend, Hamada's reputation has been gradually on the decline, and his tales both literally and figuratively have lost their voice. Following the fate of "Hirosuke's nursery tales," here I will outline a historical shift in the relations between children's books and children-readers.
