Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of time introduced by Fujiwara no Shunzei. Focusing on Shunzei's critical judgments of the poetic games uta-awase, the author of this paper analyses Shunzei's attitude toward poems including place names (Uta-makura) taken from Ise-monogatari. The author demonstrates that Shunzei praises highly the recollection of Ise-monogatari through the reading of those poems. Shunzei emphasizes that quoting Ise-monogatari introduces the modality of narrative time into the poem on the condition that its attempt in disclosing the fact that the narrative itself was lost, disclosing its absence, has succeeded. It can be concluded that Shunzei reveals the modality of the present time lived as past, which differs from the modality represented by honkadori in creating a state of occurrences particularly characteristic of the narratives
