Abstract

<p>This paper will consider the political relation between Rokujō-no-Miyasudokoro, Zenbō, and the Rokujō Family in Genji-monogatari. With such an ideological background of aristocracy, I will show why Hikaru-Genji as a politician must deal with the adoption of Akikonomu-Chūgū and the building of Rokujō-In. I will also analyze the complicated character of Rokujō-no-Miyasudokoro who is obsessed both with politics and with passions while interpreting his dream in the Aoi Chapter, his will in the Miotsukusi Chapter, and the storm after his death as well as the appearance of his apparition.</p>
