Abstract

<p>Rokujō-no-Miyasudokoro, a character of Genji-monogatari, is generally believed to be modeled on Kishi-Joou, a woman poet who is known for her courageous act to accompany her daughter Saigū to Ise in spite of the emperor's opposition. But it has been often pointed out that there is another model named Chūjō-no-Miyasudokoro. Interestingly enough, however, the woman didn't exist as an actual person, for she was also a fictitious character constructed from the annotations on Genji-monogatari and Ōkagami. Then it means that the figure of Rokujō-no-Miyasudokoro is fiction based on fiction, an imaginary person in history.</p>
