Matsuo-Basho called his house at Fukagawa "kauso-no-haoku" (a dilapidated cottage on the river). The well-know phrase, frequently used in the master's and his disciples' poems, has contributed much to forming the image of Basho as a hermit-poet. Mainly interpreting the work of Yamaguchi-Sodo, a poet of the Basho group, here I will find the meaning of this image-making.

Mukunashi-Issetsu severely criticized Ihara-Saikaku's Budo-denrai-ki for its blatant fictitious treatment of the actual vendetta the story was based on. But his attack seems wide of the mark, for the author had no intention to describe the historical fact but tried to skillfully adapt many sources both written and oral into his own story. The vendetta was just a component of such a literary mixture. This is why Soto-ga-hama, a place of the vendetta, was freely turned into a magical space in the story. In the same sense, the relation of each character and the development of events in "Wakashusakari-ha-miyagino-hagi" (vol.7, part 2), for example, should be read not in the historical light but in the framework of fiction.

In the ninth year of the Kansei Period, Akizato-Rito edited a strange picture guidebook entitles Tokaido-meisho-zukai Unlike other guidebooks, the sights, historical episodes, and pleasure spots of the 53 stages along the Tokaido highway were subtly arranged on the illustrated map to show the superiority of the Kamigata (present-day Kansai) district over the capital Edo. For that purpose Akizato elaborately distorted the image of Mt. Fuji by drawing it in a too blatantly conventional way because of its abominable eastern location. Ueda-Akinari protested against the sacrilegious treatment for the symbol of Japan, but very likely the famous playwright was urged by none other than Akizato to do that as an advertisement for his guidebook.

The setting of Nanso-satomi-hakken-den is the eastern Kanto district of the fifteenth century. In reading the tale it is very important to understand the historical background both of the place and of the age. At that time Satomi, the lord of the Abou province, defeated Gamata-Sudo and expanded his territory into the Kazusa province. With the central power in Kyoto at his back, Satomi survived the great battles among the eight provinces and finally united them under his well-ordered government. Any tales originated in the eastern outskirts of the Kanto district had been since told and written to some degree in relation to the great unification. As will be shown in my article, Takizawa-Bakin's work, although written about three hundred years afterward, can be placed within the context of the local history.

In Daifusokoku-ko, Hirata-Atsutane unfolded a very extraordinary idea about Fusokoku, a legendary country described in Sakkai-kyo-kaigai-tokyo, Jusshu-ki, and other Chinese Taoist books. According to the author, Fusokoku refers to no other country than Japan, and the names of the places there can be each translated into those of the Japanese provinces. Of course, as has been often done, it is easy to see mere megalomaniac jingoism in his conceit. But the bold attempt Hirata made to redefine the national space is worth noting, for in it is inscribed not only the map of the fabulous country but also that of "knowledge" in the early modern age.

The illustrated "sugoroku" game, a Japanese version of pachisi, was very popular during the mid-and late Edo Period. There were a great variety of themes for the game; illustrations and even pawns were each made to suit a certain theme. In playing the game, a miniature world based on a specific theme was to visually develop before the players. In a sense such a virtual game-world spatially reflects the mass culture of the age. With several instances I will examine the aspects of mass culture represented in the "sugoroku" game.

In the Edo Period, the public had very few opportunities of knowing Ryukyu, present-day Okinawa. But on rare occasions when the delegates were sent from Ryukyu to the mainland, many people went out to see the procession of the delegates, talked about them, and bought books about the southern islands. The more intellectual class was also interested in Ryukyu. They studied and wrote about it, sometimes exchanging information among them for more knowledge of it. Many of the books written at that time, which have helped the creation of the modern image of Okinawa, are now in the Horei Library of the University of Hawaii. Even today they tell us the profound interest and understanding the people of the past had concerning Okinawa.
