The Formation of Banka(Song for the Dead)(<Special Issue>Ancient Literature and the Court)

The Banka in Manyoshu was formed as the last addresses of those who were subjected to an abnormal death-death by execution or by accident, suicide-or as the songs to appease the ones who died a premature death, as exemplified by the first song in the book by prince Arima who sang it in the imminence of his execution. In Kojiki and Nihonshoki, however, every song of death presents an abnormal case. By this, one is led to suspect that the deaths mourned in Manyoshu had something that differentiated them from the ones treated in other books. It can be said that while in Kojiki and Nihonshoki, the individual death song of Yamato Takeru was presented and continued to be sang as the "great address of the dying emperor," the Banka in Manyoshu were expected to offer an appeasement of individual persons who died abnormally. Such a treatment of abnormal death may find some continuity in the later belief in the spirits of the dead, Mitama. This new trend indicates the emergence of new life at the fomation of a new court.

On the 5th of May in the 15th year of Tenpyo, the heir apparent Princess Abe danced the special festival number Gosechi at the party in the inner palace, in front of the audience consisting of lords. This event will be interpreted, in this paper, as a site, at which not only the significances of dancing in the court but the bases for the "sacredness" of the emperor and his sons and daughters were deliber ately rearranged for the purpose of constructing the new image of the "ancient." The "myth," constructed on this occasion, was too heterogenous to be included in the accounts of the origin of Gosechi no Mai after the Heian Period. Nevertheless, this kind of anomaly was frequently allowed to emerge at the 8th-century court, amid the competition of heterogeneous expressions. I suspect that what had been suppressed from the end of the 8th century to the early Heian Period was the fact, as it is apparent to the later view, that the court itself functioned as a site of competition that allowed heretical expressions or acts to be demonstrated.

The scene of the Hana no En one of the grandest scenes in Genji Monogatari, presents the unmatched splendor of Hikaru Genji dancing the number celebrating the cuckoo's song in spring. The consideration of legends and historical facts concerning Nanden and cherry trees at Nanden makes one realize the ambiguity of the space-its simultaneous association of danger or unpropitiousness. I suggest that this ambiguity not only forebodes, however Hikaru's political misfortune that will follow in the plot, but indicates the formation of Hikaru Genji as hero, who will attain the glorious position overcoming his obscurity as well.

The chapter of Okinamaru reminds the reader of the historical incident of Korechika's insurrection and banishment. This paper regards the incident as a pretext for this chapter, and attempts to interpret the affair in this chapter as a "festive situation" within a semiotic system. Inserted in the space alien to the real court, Okinamaru functions as a sacrifice. He purifies Korechika's guilt he symbolically represented on the level of textual signification, and finally emerges as a tangible person, Okinamaru, freed from the symbolic guilt.

There has recently been a trend for interpreting the Court Literature by adopting the concept of telling civic legends or courtly legends. The attempts, however, have not necessarily succeeded in revealing how stories were actually told in the city or at the court. I propose to discuss, through my reading of Makura no Soshi, the role of the court as a site of telling stories (including a gossip, idle talks and rumors). For, the Court of Empress Teishi is shown to be forming a court culture, involving aristocrats and even Emperor Ichijo himself. In the description of her court, one can discern the process in which apparently purposeless act of telling tales gradually leads to the attainment of power.
