抄録

The Yōwain letter refers to the letter sent by Yōwain (1638－1711), the lawful wife of feudal lord Mitsuhisa Shimazu, Satsuma, (1616－1695) living in Edo in the year 1701, to court noble Hiramatsu Tokikazu (Yōwain's elder brother) living in Kyoto. This letter was collected by Mr. Nobuo Inokuma, who has preserved it at Hiroshima University. Most notably, in this letter, Yōwain asked her elder brother (a court Noble) in Kyoto to produce the screen of "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" as one of the household articles for a bride, for Daimyo's daughter in this case. Therefore, this letter is extremely important as a historical document that depicts the recipient, use, and production process of the screen of "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" at the time, which has not been well known thus far, for which there are two reasons. First, "The Song Everlasting Sorrow," in the early modern era, was produced as a large screen and a wall painting to decorate public spaces so as to raise the authority of a politician, but the folding screen in this letter was produced as furniture for a private owner. Second, the folding screen of the tragic theme "The Everlasting Sorrow" is very rare, as it was chosen to be used as a piece of furniture to bless the marriage. This paper considers why the screen of "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" in Yōwain letter was ordered as an article of the bride's household effects at this time by referring to furniture ordered at the same time. An analysis of the letter revealed that furniture that would reflect the dynasty culture loved by the court noble (Kuge) was ordered. Therefore, it is possible that this was the piece ordered when Daimyo's daughter, Kamehime Shimazu, married the court noble, Konoe Kazuhisa. Moreover, in the Genroku period (1688－1704), Yang Guifei, who had a tragic image thus far, was regarded as a symbol of happy marriage; therefore, it is thought that the production of this folding screen also corresponded to the trend of an era when a new interpretation was given.
