Although she is completely minor part in the tale, recent scholars have focused on her unwomanly behavior symbolized by jealousy after grabbing a letter sent to her husband by Ichijonomiyasudokoro and bitterly quarrelling with her husband. By the way, it is common that such actions by a woman are blamed. However, Kumoinokari is not criticized, marvelously. In this paper, her positioning and significance, as well as the author's need for her in the tale were considered from the perspective of paying attention to the process of social infrastructure supporting her. Kumoinokari stands out as immature and very obedient in the "Book of Otome." She fell in love with Yugiri against the wish of Tonochujo's family. In order not to be disqualified as a daughter of Tonochujo, she tried to be obedient to her family. After marriage with Yugiri, she moved to the residence of Sanjo where the late Omiya used to live, and would continue to have a strong social presence inside of Tonochujo's family. However, the "Book of Fujinouraba" and the following three tales are not told by the viewpoint of Kumoinokari on her married life. Around ten years after her marriage, she was changed, because her husband, Yugiri had an affair with Ochibanomiya. Kumoinokari felt as if she lost everything, and after quarrelling with her husband, she chose to return to her father's home and build a new life.
