Tenshōdaijingohonji(天照大神御本地) is a story which narrates the legendary origin of Tenshōdaijin. There are four manuscripts of this story. They are as follows:
Manuscript 1 (M1) Untitled manuscript(well-known tentative title : Tenshōdaijinhonji (天照大神本地) ) Possessor : Keio University Library
A manuscript book copied by hand sometime during the first half of the Edo period
Manuscript 2 (M2) Title : Tenshōkōtaijingūgoengi (天照皇大神宮御縁起) Possessor : Mr. Tōru ISHIKAWA
A manuscript book copied by hand in 1734
Manuscript 3 (M3) Title : Isedaijingūgoengi (伊勢大神宮御縁起) Possessor : Mr. Tōru ISHIKAWA
A manuscript book copied by hand in 1710
Manuscript 4 (M4) Title : Tenshōdaijingohonji(天照大神御本地) Possessor : Yukio OSHIMA
A manuscript book copied by hand in 1750
M1 was introduced by Mr. Ryushin MATSUMOTO in 1974 and reprinted in Muromachijidai-Monogatari-Taisei(『
室町時代
物語大成』) vol.10 in 1982. Consequently the story came to scholars’ notice. After that, Mr. Tōru ISHIKAWA reported on M2 and M3 in his possession. Recently I obtained M4 at an antiquarian bookshop. So it has become possible to advance the study on the story by comparing these four manuscripts with each other. The fact that M2, M3 and M4 were originally handed down at Uonuma(魚沼) district in Niigata Prefecture(新潟県) gives us a clue to investigate the popularization of the story.
In this paper, I have reprinted the text of M4 and given a bibliographical introduction to it.
