Abstract
<p>Eguchi is a Noh play about Saigyō's and Shōkū's encounter with the Buddhist saint Samantabhadra in the guise of a prostitute. The former's episode has several sources; the account of Saigyō's communion with the sacred prostitute in Senjū-shō, the comment on her song in reply to the monk in Saigyō-monogatari, and his theatrically masochistic style found in his own poetry collection Sanka-shū. The aim of this article is to redefine the Noh play as a fable of Saigyō's transcendental experience in terms of these “pre-texts.”</p>
