Description

This article conducts a reconsideration of the Background of Ki no Haseo's poem preface "Kugatsujinjitsu zangiku wo oshimu ōsē shijo". This Preface was created at a public banquet, which was an honor for Ki no Haseo. However, when composing this preface, he reused expressions from his previous works. Through the analysis in this article, it was revealed that he was not arbitrarily reusing his own expressions, but rather deliberately reusing the poem preface expressions from the seventh year of Gangyō and the first year of Kanpyō. Through such poetic method, at the public banquet of Kugatsujinjitsu in the second year of Engi, without the participants present at the scene noticing, he accomplished his private reminiscence to his poetry mate Sugawara no Michizane, who initiated the banquet of Kugatsujinjitsu. Such bold technique is extremely unique and rare both within Ki no Haseo's works and within the poem prefaces of public banquet in the Heian period.
